Re-grow Romaine Lettuce
I saw something quite similar to this on Pinterest awhile back. It was with celery - since I absolutely DESPISE celery, you can understand why I didn't experiment with it instead.
When we had Uncle Frank over for our first BBQ of the year a couple weeks back, I saved the bottom of the romaine lettuce that I purchased from the store and stuck it in a cup of fresh water on the windowsill above my sink. I've made sprouts at home before so I know it's really important to rinse and change the water each day. I applied the same concept to the stem by replacing the water and rinsing the base each morning. Almost right away I saw some growth, but after going away with Heather last weekend I came home to actual baby romaine leaves! I can't wait to try this with different types of lettuce, and maybe even stick the base in my garden...
Have you tried this before? If so what did you re-grow?

Awesome idea! Starting one tonight!
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Mine is still growing away on the windowsill - I'll be planting it in my garden any day now!
DeleteI wonder if this could work even with it chilly outside?
