Cheer Up Your Winter Window

I really like Susan's photo. She obviously had a really green thumb.

I haven't tried planting these in dirt. They grow hair-like roots that trail into the water, so I guess you could plant them. Eventually the heel of the celery gets used up as food for the plant, of course, and when that happened, I harvested the stalks one last time and then composted what was left.

Can you then plant it and grow it to eat? If so, how do you go about doing it?

This is great. I do this with potatoes and carrots, very pretty.

Growing the celery is for looks but also for food. Just break a little off when cooking or in a tossed salad. Thanks for this idea. Brilliant.

I so love this idea and how wonderful of Susan to have tried it and posted a photo of it after your initial submission!

This is definitely the time of year to be cheered up and will be lining my kitchen window with them :-)

Out of curiosity, how long do they last for our enjoyment? Have you experimented with potting them in dirt come Springtime?
