Joshua's experiment

We bought some scallions to make scallion pancakes 蔥油餅. Then I decided to safe the left over and put them in a yogurt cup with some water. They grew slowly. After about 2-3 weeks, this was what we got! I made some more scallion pancake with these newly grown scallion. :)
This leaves grew from a carrot we soak in water after 2-3 weeks. This was actually an experiment from Joshua's lesson. Joshua was excited to see how it grew. Well, I didn't use this one for cooking :D

Even though it is winer and it is very cold outside, but our scallion and carrot's leaves are still growing because it is warm inside.

This celery is another experiment from Joshua's lesson. It didn't last too long, about 1 month. This experiment is to show how roots carry water up to the leaves. After about 1 month, the leaves got dry so I had to threw it away.
