My mother in law taught me a neat trick. If you buy a celery, cut of the tops and stick the bottom in some water, new roots will grow. After enough roots grow, you can replant it in soil and the celery plant will grow new celery. If you think about this, you can just keep doing this and never run out of celery. Her plant is beautiful. I just started ours a couple of days ago and it's doing really well. You can see the new stalk already growing.
And tiny little root hairs.
Bear read us the book Roots
