Description
Exercise environmental thrift by regrowing green onions and celery after using the bulk of them for a meal.
Instructions
- Fill 2 cups or small bowls halfway with cool tap water.
- Cut off most of the greens from a bunch of green onion.
- Cut the edible section off a bunch of celery leaving just the tough stem. (Put the good parts aside for eating.)
- Place the white bulb portion of the onions and the tough joined end of the celery stalk each in their own cup or bowl and place them near a window that gets at least five hours of sunlight a day.
- For the next few weeks, change the water daily and watch the plants grow until they are ready to eat again.
