It's tempting to buy the big bag of celery at Costco but you'll seldom use it all by the time it starts to fade. If you wrap the celery in a plastic bag and then wrap that bag in aluminum foil you can get a much longer refrigerated shelf life.
Putting Down Roots. Congrats! You've now got your very own celery plant. Make sure you keep it sufficiently watered and fertilized. Once the new stalks begin really coming in, cut the top and bottom off of a two-liter soda bottle and place the cylinder around the celery plant. This will keep the stalks growing up, rather than out, which makes harvesting much easier. Speaking of harvesting, you can cut stalks from the plant as needed from now on.
