Tightwaddery

I read an interesting tip the other day. It said you can grow more lettuce by cutting off the bottom part and suspending it in water.

This took too much room so I have since changed the dowels to toothpicks and put it over a glass of water. It's actually growing new lettuce leaves...so I started a celery, too. We shall see what we shall see!

How interesting is that!? Does it work for any type lettuce? Romaine, iceberg, etc.? I may have to try that! Happy Friday to you up north! Kari

Crazy! I would assume the nutritional value is much lower though.

I've heard it works for lots of veggies.

As to nutritional value...it's still gottta be beter than iceberg lettuce.

BTW, the celery is starting to show signs of growth, too.

In water or above water? That is very interesting. I may have to try it.

The bottom must be in the water, but the toothpicks hold it from being completely submerged.
