How to make it
1Grown-up step: cut the ends
Cut off the bottoms of the vegetables, leaving about 2 in. Keep the roots on the green onions.
2Stand the onions up
Put the green onion ends roots-down in a glass with 1 in of water.
3Prop the celery
Set the celery base in a shallow dish with about half an inch of water.
4Hold the lettuce up
Push 3 toothpicks into the sides of the lettuce base. Rest them on the rim of a jar so only the bottom touches water.
5Put them in the sun
Line them up on a bright windowsill or table.
6Change the water
Pour fresh water in every 2 days. Measure the new growth together with a ruler.
Green onions grow fastest. You'll see new shoots in 2 or 3 days, which keeps the grandkids checking in.
