My celery is a superstar
I am trying beets, zucchini and romaine, at the moment, just soaking them in water and seeing what will happen. Yesterday, I made 3 Grow boxes. These things are great!
You can google them.
I planted cayenne, dill, parsley, thyme, coriander, a lot of turnips, for the greens, and beets, for the greens. It is hard to get fresh greens for juicing, as they are a few days old by the time you get them and kind of tough and icky.

I ordered 9 more grow boxes and I am going to plant all sorts of things. What I don't use, I will give to people, as presents!

yes, but I think they take a lot of time and depth, if I am not mistaken.

We threw an onion heart out in the compost forever ago and it's now sprouting.

I'll take a picture - surprised the heck out of me.

And, as you can see, it had already started to decompose and still sprouted.

I have planted a lot of things and the scraps don't seem as strong, as the seed

Well, they are growing, but the seed seems stronger. I am experimenting. Also, soaking the seeds seems good because the dead ones rise to the top, so I don't plant them. Ami's natural selection
