Anytime you buy an onion in the store to use, you can grow your own.

The pointy top part of the onion, you might as well cut up and eat.

But if you slice off the rooty, bottom part, put it in the ground, water it good, and leave it alone.

Onions are very hardy, it will grow at least one new onion, possibly more.

Same is true of celery.

Hey, I’ve got to try that one too - I have tried for 50+ years to grow celery and never had any luck - maybe this will give it the head start it needs.

Okay, I’ve got my store-onion roots planted. I am guessing I need a little slice of the onion a-top the root to feed the root a bit. Say, 1/4 - 1/2 inch? At least that’s what I tried.

Celery is not something that will grow here due to the rockiness and shallowness of the soil. I will have to work on preparing a bed to try planting the celery. That’s another good project for me to experiment with. I just keep hoping the Lord is good enough to give me enough time to do all these experiments.
