An Experiment

I planted a long row of garlic today, as well as three large shallots. Recently I've been planting the root ends of scallions and they've sprouted and produced more leaves. So I thought I'd try it with leeks. I have three large leek roots, which I put in the bed, about an inch down, and covered them with soil. They each had some short roots that had been cut off. I also have a celery base, which I've read will sprout. However, it doesn't have any roots, so I put it in a dish of water to see if it will sprout.
