Plant something new every year. You'll be amazed at what you learn once your plant starts to grow. I remember the year my mom told me she was going to grow celery. I thought sure she'd lost her mind. She lived in IOWA, celery would NEVER grow there, I thought. But it did. And she LOVED IT!
Lesson learned.
From then on, I've never been afraid to "jump off the bridge" or in my case, the deck lol, and try something new! It's a wonderful way to open your mind and that of others!

I am from Iowa and I was wondering if she started the celery from seed or used a plant. I have never tried it and didn't know either that you could grow it in Iowa.
