Spring is here and it's time to think about your garden. Whether your garden is on your porch or planting beds, here's a fun and economical way to get a jump start on it from salad items you might normally throw away.
Rather than tossing the stumps from celery and romaine lettuce, do the following:
- Place them in a container with about half an inch of water.
- Set the container in indirect sunlight.
- Change the water daily.
Within days, you may see your lettuce growing, and after a week or so, you may notice leaves on your celery. Once the new plants are 4 inches tall, you can plant them in a container or the ground, if it's warm enough.
Do this project with your kids! They'll love it!
