Celery update #4

"Our celery is getting huge!" an excited boy at daycare tells me. I turn to look at it and say, "Oh my, I guess it is!!! I need to take some pictures!"

I just realized as I'm typing this that it will be a month since we started growing out celery tomorrow. Where has the time gone??

It has gotten extremely large in that time - about 8" now!! It is also very robust, we have discovered, as it's been pulled out by the little ones several times now LOL.

In pulling it out we have discovered that our celery has grown quite an extensive root system ( picture to follow as I didn't get one today when it was out, but I will be sure to get one tomorrow when someone pulls it out... Hehe).

Our celery growing experiment had prompted the growing of a second celery- this time we have put blue food coloring in the water. The celery was only planted last Friday and the food coloring was only added to the eater today. As you can see, tube color is already traveling up the stalks and the tips are slightly colored as well :)
