I read that if you put the butt end of your celery in water until it sprouts, then plant it in soil, you can have a renewable source of celery right in your kitchen. So far it's working; the center part is all new growth. Pretty soon I'll be able to transplant it. Neat, huh?

more!

Planted some more herbs and some veggies. Look at my kale, all floofy and green! :)

more life!

The kale continues to grow, to the point that it's now leggy and needing to be transplanted. the two rows behind the kale are basil, and the last two rows are parsley. One plug is missing because it started to mold, and I didn't want it to infect the rest. On the right are some cucumber sprouts. Very exciting!

I started my tomato plants about a month too soon, so under the advice of a local plant guru I moved them to a cool area (I keep the spare rooms shut up for the winter, this is the girls room) where they will get filtered light. This should keep them from getting too leggy too soon. Apparently it's a magical area, as hinted by the rainbow in the corner. ;)
