Our indoor "garden" is coming along nicely. The sweet potato has some good root growth, though no sprouts have appeared yet. We've also added an avacado pit, but it hasn't shown any signs of life yet. I was afraid our celery experiment was going to turn out to be a failure. Our first snowstorm of the season (in February??) hit the night we put the celery in the water to soak and there was no way to get any dirt from the garden to plant it. So, we kept it in the bowl of water and waited for the weather to warm up. It started wilting and turning brown, and I was thinking we would have to throw it out. But then . . . leaves started peaking out of the center and after about a week, we finally had growth!
This morning I noticed that the new growth had a little bit of brown on the edges, so I sent my son to the garden to get some dirt. While he was digging, he found a flint arrow head! It's funny how you can mix history into a botany lesson.

Here is our celery plant in its new home, waiting for the time when it can be transplanted to its summer garden home.
