I saw this on a blog where the writer had cut off the bottom of a romaine lettuce head and grew another head of lettuce from it. Just what had been purchased from the grocery store. Nothing special about that head of lettuce. I was making coleslaw and thought, what the heck, I will try it with this pretty purple cabbage I was using. So I cut off about an inch of the end that had been closest to the roots. Where they had cut it from the plant. I then put it in a shallow dish of water. I have made sure there is always water.
I have cabbages growing! They look like three tiny brussell sprouts right now. This is so exciting. When the plant seem much more established and I can see roots, I will plant it in my garden. I am going to do this much more often. It definitely makes me smile.
By the way, ink is in but not the paper. More waiting going on.
