She said she'd chop of the tops with tiny sprouts and dig it into soil...<br />But I am okay with seeds... [SIGH] I gotta wait at least three months to sow the carrots...

I figured it couldn't hurt much. Last I checked though it seemed to have disappeared. Maybe the neighbourhood skunk pulled it up?

I will, of course, post about it when there are conclusive results.<br /><br />I haven't heard of anyone doing this with celery before.

The first time was unsuccessful, but this time it's growing (we've also done it with radishes and celery). You'll want a container with good drainage, and lots of sunlight for the leaves. A little root hormone may help as well. I hope you try again!Kate/ Beyond the Brambleshttp://beyondthebrambles.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
