Above: the bottom middle green plant is actually the celery I regrew last winter, that I let go to Seed this summer, to collect the seeds!
I planted the Celery indoors, nurtured it, and let it grow.
For a few winters now, I have used celery from the store, to regrow from mere cut off bottoms. Once I use the celery for salads, for cooking, making stews, soups, and stocks, etc, I simply take the bottom of the stock, and place root side down, in some water. After a couple of weeks, the inside of the celery bunch begins to regrow more greens and eventually, stalks. After a bit, I transplanted the bunch from water to outside. Eventually, I had enough regrowing growing inside, that I decided to try an experiment. A little Seed Saving!
Above: Celery regrowing from the root, inside, rooted in water.
Below: After growing, and cutting only stalks I needed, I stopped. I let the Celery go to seed, meaning it went dormant, and produced seed. (white pods are clusters of young, immature seed)
Below: today, while cleaning up the herb planters, for winter, I harvested the seed pods of Celery.
Above: Teasing out, and winnowing away the pods, leaving only Celery Seeds.
Below: In the Bowl, the only bits left are hundreds of tiny Celery Seeds. A few dozen can safely fit on the head of a pin. TINY, TINY, TINY!
