Whenever I buy a celery, I look for one with the most amount of "root remains" I'd use some and put the remaining in a vase of water with a few drops of plant food and stick it on the kitchen window. After a short while there's an abundance of celery leaves, ideal as a salad leaf, and retain a very slight taste of celery. When I lived in Bressay, Shetland, I did this and visited "home" to Anglesey... Upon my return, about 10 days later, I had a veritable bush in my kitchen!!

I read somewhere that, in nature, the first trees to grow in new open areas tend to be fast-growing and less specialised, such as birches and willows, which then provide a suitable habitat for the seedlings of the more dominant woodland species, so I wonder if dispersing seeds of those faster-growing species would work better in the long run for reforesting unused land?

Early this year I had some shriveled up store-bought basil in the fridge that I hadn't used, and I stuck it in a cup of water since it wasn't worth eating in its state anyway (after watching your video, thanks). I haven't paid for basil since and have two nice looking plants now, so it's always worth a try even if the cuttings aren't in good shape. I will say the first plant didn't do nearly as well as the cuttings I took from it, but that could just be up to my less consistent watering and the shorter days of early spring.

Also just along the downs from there Butser (where I remember abundant Marjoram growing , and used to see many colourful Burnet moths on the western slopes below the mast, about in July, these are both enchanting places. I think there are more reptiles on the green sand areas in Surrey hills rather than on the chalk downs. I would often see Adders and common lizards but I never saw a smooth snake or sand lizard except captive ones in the reptile centre near Brockenhurst.

I lived in a house for 6 years, in the 2nd year planted an oak seedling from my son's garden, and a year after I sold the house, the new owners had to cut it down ( as reported by by ex-neighbours) because it had grown too big! That is about 7 years in all. Hopefully in 7 years time we shall all be here to see the Atomic Shrimp Oak Grove !

The forgotten skinny acorn saplings with limited light sit and wait for the short lived softwood trees to start falling Then for the oak its showtime For the last thirty years i have planted acorns in gappy hedgerows.
