How To Grow Celery

This little trick I'm about to show you works with so many things.
Are you tired of prices going up every time you go to the local grocery store? It seems to be never ending. That's why I grow as much of my own food as possible.
Supplies Needed
- Small Glass Container
- Pebbles
- Water
- Sun
- Your Starter Piece
If you've used all the celery you can from the last bunch you bought from the store, cut off the bottom and watch it grow.
Fill the glass container with pebbles, place the bottom of your celery on top of the pebbles and add water. Add just enough water to barely touch the bottom of your celery stub.
Place it in the sun and add water as needed, every two to three days.
Soon you'll see new growth sprout up from the middle.
I've just started a new batch myself.

These days we could all use some extra cash left in our pockets. You can even use the seeds from tomatoes in the store. I buy what is called tomatoes off the vine. clean the seed quickly and just drop it in some dirt. Keep the soil moist and within a week it's popped up. Sometimes within 3 days.

@WendySpickerman Doing some farming really helps one to save some cash and I know there is no turning back on this because there are some gains in all this.

I'm gonna try this one, do you think it would work as well for let's say onions or garlic? I would love to grow my own food if only i can

I've never tried garlic. but I have grown chives and those really thick big onions that grow nice and tall.

So you have access to organic foods, that's wonderful. Many of the non organic produce we see in groceries were treated with root inhibitors so they cannot take root. Those oversized AG conglomerates are greedy and want us to be dependent on their products.

I've had no luck getting ordinary produce to sprout but when it's labeled organic I have no problem at all @WendySpickerman maybe it's the region I live in, most of our produce is shipped from other regions because here in the desert some produce won't grow well on the scale we'd need to fill the groceries.

I use just regular food. I don't buy organic. You're just buying brand with that. I've never had a problem going regular grocery stock.

that sounds interesting. We don't get celery here though I used to do a similar thing with spinach leaves, plant the roots back in the ground and get some more leaves.
