My hens are still laying a few eggs, so that's pretty good, LOL. I shop at my local independent grocery and that's where the turkey and the butter was on sale. The butter was from Country Dairy, a local hormone free dairy that markets to local grocery stores. I also got a half bushel of "utility" apples for $2 at the local farmer's market, they're trying to get rid of them so they don't have to put the less than perfect ones in cold storage. Gold Medal Flour was $1.50 here for 5 lbs so I bought it although I prefer King Arthur, which is $3.99 at Walmart. Can't get it at my local store. Oh, and milk is $1.78 a gallon, pork loin is $1.19 a pound and New York Strip is $3.99 a pound. Local potatoes are 89 cents for 10 pounds, celery is 69 cents a bunch and winter squashes are 19 cents a pound. Annie

I've been doing this for a few years. Use glass. Allows more light to get to the growth. Rinse and add fresh clean filtered water often. I just do that every couple days. I start mine on the shelf above my prep area. Just using the under cabinet led lights. Not even a sunny window...then transplant out into the kitchen deck planters. pic on the deck was 2015 end of October and it was beginning to snow. So not a pretty time of year. I just use those pots for quick snips for salads, soups, eggs. All covered in 6 inches of snow this morning but i have some green growth still under the snow. As mentioned it is not like the original bulbs or is like the original celery stalks. Same with leeks i re-grow. Nor will it ever be enough to never buy again. I stock green onion, organic celery, leeks and cilantro from the grocery. What i need for meals as we cook from scratch and whole foods. Having something that would be compost and growing is just satisfying...and having something growing in the kitchen is lovely. Enjoy it and find the best method for your home. Parsley and cilantro will work but a bit fussy. Mine from the grocery have the roots attached. I just hold the bunch together with the rubber band and sit into the glass. One inch of water is enough. Any more and you will get some rot up the plant stems. Once green growth happens in the center of things like celery, you can remove some of the outer base stalks as they get soft. and then to soil the water. I don't bother as much in the winter unless i just want to watch something growing...(cheaper than flowers!) My winter garden is micro greens. Rotation of three trays...two under lights downstairs. One in the kitchen for harvesting. Start a new tray every Sunday. One tray makes 6-8 good size salads. 2014-15 i grew in clam shells. A great method for learning. Johnny's spicy mix will produce in 10-14 days. I have now advanced to 14 varieties and some are much slower growing so if interested start with the simpler smaller seeds.

I get them at the health food store or online. Tried the Stoneworks and didn't like them at all. I stick with the GG and use them for everything but darks. I don't like food fragrances on products at all. But the GG lavender/vanilla doesn't smell like either lavender or vanilla. The fragrance is non-specific for me but it doesn't cling strongly to things. Just smells clean and that is especially important to me for my towels. The gardenia is ok. Overall I like these GG pods nearly as much as Persil. Then clean very well and whiten also. Much prefer pods over liquids now that I have used them a lot. For dishwasher I like the Ecover tabs. They do a great job. Also at health food store.
