Indoor lettuce?

celery works great!

in fact, one can keep a celery plant in a container going from the garden all winter long, and use it like an herb is soups and stews, too.

i also freeze my celery in big chunks for cooking later.

drissel and kk, i think the Romaine's an excellent idea!

 

here's a pics of the bok choi stub i grew...it's still tasty!

pak choi end...

 

Bunkie you can really do wonders!!! :-D
Celery .... hmm maybe I should try that too!!! My wife got some romaine I think in the fridge and I had told her to save the stalks for me to try and regenerate them Just can't wait to eat them to get at the stalks .... hehee!!!!

 

Today we had romaine lettuce for lunch and guess what I did with the stalks?? Once my wife remove the leaves from the stalk I immediately cut about an inch off the bottom of the stalk and immerse them in cold water. Maybe I should put paper towels for the stalk to sit on instead of direct contact with the container .... hmmmm. This time since the weather is more reasonable now I decided to leave them on the window sill inside the house. Really hope that they would grow.

kk, looking good, but i would totally cut the top leaves off at the stem. in a couple days leaves will come up from the center, like it looks now.

 

Thanks for the tip Bunkie, I will do that right now

 

great kk! keep the pics coming!

 

Well i had to try my hand at this so I took one and have it in water now. We will see how it does. Really like the idea of growing my own indoors because I hate buying it. Will have to try and find room for a couple pots of it.

 

I just planted lettuce in a plastic box an set it on the porch , in zone 5. It has begun to germinate.
Rats snowed today.

It's the green that keeps on giving! Bunkie, I'm trying to imagine a celery growing... sometime if you have a pic, I'd love to see it. KK -- you have a whole lettuce bed there. Love it!

 

3 out of the 5 survived and had them in the ground, I mean in the pot now. :-D The weather had done a 360°turn around and it is getting really hot!!! Wanted to move the pot to a cooler place but was afraid my back might give up due to very old permanent accident damaged. :'( Anyway trying to keep it cool by shading it. Will get some pics and post it later.

 

The remaining 3 surviving romaine. This pic was taken early this morning and I forgot to shade them from the noon sun today. They are still alive even though today is a real freaking hot day. I guess I don't have to shade them further ...... I hope!!
