Celery growing big and strong

On January 25, I posted a picture on Facebook.  I had taken a stalk of celery and cut the root end, placed it in a bowl of water on my kitchen counter. 





I have had people ask me how my cute little celery is doing.  So, I took a picture this week after I had planted it in the garden outside for several weeks.





I am certainly not planning on making stuffed celery for any vegetable tray soon, but this has been fun and I do plan on using the leaves in some soup this weekend. 

I just made sure that the root bottom was submerged in a small amount of water and kept replenishing it. 

I am also pleased to report that my Meyer lemon tree that was planted 2 years ago, is really loaded with blossoms right now.  In November, I harvested 13 lemons.  Then in January, I saw blossoms starting.  Many blossoms are lost to either wind or chance, but I do think we will have more lemons than last year.
