No more throwing away or composting the ends of celery for me!  You can regrow your celery stalks using the end that is cut off and usually tossed.  To do this, simply place the cut off end into a small dish of water.  Within a few days you will see leaves growing from the center.  Simply replant into soil outside if it is warm enough or in a planter indoors in a sunny spot until it can be transplanted outside.  No need to fuss with seeds!  You will have small celery stalks within a few short weeks.

What an awesome way to reduce, reuse, and recycle!

I hate wasting fresh produce.  Well, I never really waste it as it always goes to the worms anyway, but I still hate throwing it out.  Did you know you can regrow your green onions and have them available for quite a long time?  Mine have been going strong for three weeks now.  They also add a bit of greenery to my kitchen, which is always nice.

The next time you buy and use green onions put the bulbs in a glass or vase with a bit of water.  Snip off what you need as you need it and watch more grow! Just change out the water periodically.  Apparently you can regrow celery too.  I've yet to try that but will post results as soon as I do.
