Today I just want to drop a quick line to tell you the exciting news about my garden. There are two little things--just little things really--but they make me so happy.
I have read about growing celery from the bottom part of a purchased celery (the part you usually throw away.) Several sites said that you needed to use the freshest one you could find. Well, I had an old one that I was about to throw out. I thought, "What the hey? I am going to throw it away any way. If it doesn't work, I haven't lost anything." I set it in a bowl of warm water. That was only yesterday. This morning it is already growing roots. Amazing.
The other cool thing is my Christmas present from my husband. He bought me a peach tree. It came yesterday. The instructions told us to leave it in water for between 8 and 24 hours and then plant. He plans to plant it tonight. This makes me so SO happy.

What a great tip about re-growing celery! I am the only one in my family who likes celery, so I don't think it would be very beneficial for me to try to grow it though. I just love it with peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteYou must live somewhere warm to be able to plant a peach tree this time of year! We have already had snow, and freezing cold temps.
Visiting you from Molly's team :)
Good luck with your peach tree. I hope to get some stuff done after the holidays.
ReplyDeleteAmiee, I live just north of Mobile, Alabama. This is the time for planting peach trees down here. And actually, I have to be careful to find one with a short enough "cold season" need. This one is supposed to have the right numbers for my area. Thank you for stopping by from Molly's team.
ReplyDeleteKris, we got it planted last night. I am excited about it. I can't wait to hear about what you get accomplished after the holidays. I always enjoy your blog.
