"Re-starting" food? Yes, really!

I read somewhere about fruits & vegetables that you can "re-grow" or "re-start" some of them from a piece, a shoot, roots, etc.  That's where I found this idea & we decided to give it a try!

When done with a celery bunch, put it in water for a few weeks.  Once it starts to grow new stalks, transfer it to soil.  Bam!  You just grew celery!   :)
Just that simple?  Yuppp, sure is!  I included a few photos of ours so far.  When we get ready to move it to soil, I'll post again.




These are after 4 days in this glass of water.  I do change the water every other day...


I love this!  I'm slightly frugal, so any way to save some moolah is my kinda thing!   ;)

Our organic pork

Along with fresh eggs from our chickens, we also grow our own pork.  I understand many do no necessarily agree with butchering animals and whatnot, but guess what?  We KNOW where our food comes from.  We KNOW it contains no chemicals or additives.  We KNOW how our animals are treated...from birth to death.
Here are some of our piggies, who are definitely loved.   :)

Getting ready for feed time!

This is the boar who fathers them.

 Awww, aren't they adorable?


This lil guy was my buddy...he had a tomato fetish. Lol
