Growing Celery and Garlic in a Glass

Hello again! Yes, I need to keep up with this blog - as usual, life has been hectic. 

I wanted to share these two little plants that I recently grew in glasses! I was fascinated and wanted to share! I am not much of a gardener nor do I ever have any luck in growing things. I try and try, but I just can't. I have a board on Pinterest with "Gardening Tips" and I use it, but it's just not in the cards. 

A few months ago a few of the garlic cloves I had started sprouting, so I saw on Pinterest that I can plant it and will have numerous amount of cloves. And I must say, the opposite happened and I tried again and same thing. The other day, I took out the peeled garlic I had in the fridge and wouldn't you know, majority of them had sprouted, so I put them in a shot glass and a few days later, they were growing like crazy! 


Next to the garlic is celery. My bees love celery so when I ran out, I decided to put it in water too. Awhile back I saw on Pinterest that you can grow lettuce in a bowl, so why not celery? I'm sure it'll take awhile to reach its "heightness", but it's still pretty cool to grow celery in a glass. 

So let's see - when it comes to planting in dirt, my "green" thumb goes on strike, but if I plant in a glass, it's a "go"?! Well - whatever works!
