Celery

I read that you can propagate celery from the leftover stem.  So I started a stem a few weeks ago and it is growing some nice roots.  Still not ready to go in the ground but I see it doing that by cooler weather. So today I started another one. We have 2 growing in the garden that we started from seed this past winter.  Celery is a slow grower which requires about an inch of water a week. It also needs regular fertilizing. God took care of the watering this summer for us. I wasn't as good about fertilizing it but it is still looking pretty good.  I will try to get some more growing next year.  Garden sites say it is really hard to grow so time will tell if we are successful or not.
