What I have done with celery is at the end of the season dug up some of my plants of unharvested celery and put the rootball in a pot and kept them in an unheated room to continue to have fresh celery for a good while into winter. They don’t grow much more, but the celery stays fresh, as long as I remember to water them. Also, I can then replant the plants in the garden the following spring and get a little more fresh celery from them before they then go to seed.Jerellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-9581059249544352282015-06-10T21:26:13.636-04:002015-06-10T21:26:13.636-04:00That's terrific, Rebecca.

I've heard of that - I wondered if it would work. Have you tried it with celery?

I gradually planted them in the pot whenever I used the onions to cook with, saving about an inch of the root area of the onion and planting that. They grew into very nice green onions with basically no work - for free!Jerellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-10774498748835957162015-06-09T15:20:33.915-04:002015-06-09T15:20:33.915-04:00I don't plow up my garden in the fall so thing...I don't plow up my garden in the fall so things stay pretty rough-n-ready looking down there. I had lettuce that wildly seeded itself which meant I had baby lettuce in February and there were some onion left behind at harvest time that turned into funny little bunches of green onion in the early spring. Let's hear it for untidiness!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05406378232568485111noreply@blogger.com
