Further Plant Experiments

Seed saving has interested me for a while. Both carrots and cabbages take two years to produce seeds. People who grow their own seeds will replant carrots or carrot tops in their gardens to throw them the following year. The same thing goes for cabbages, except the cabbage root gets planted.

We still have carrots from our garden and surprisingly a red cabbage too, so I cut off the appropriate parts and put them in water. 

The carrots have taken off. There might be a hint of roots forming, but it's too soon to tell. 

The cabbage was a little slower to start. It was pretty dried out and I threw it in water on a whim (fished it out of the compost bin actually 😅). 

I'm not sure what that cluster of thin green shoots are... Definitely not cabbage!
