@lioness, Yes, I started all in water and then a few green onions in potting soil to see if there was any difference. I change the water daily. My carrot top got mushy on the bottom so tossed it but the celery continues to add leaves and both onion "trys" have lengthening stems. I put mine in a sunny place ... don't know if they, like humans need Vit D but most veggies do well in sunny landscapes. Have fun...something to look forward to each day.

Yes, it is wonderful that the daughters are here for Fred. They insisted on staying at a motel. My friend went home yesterday and the hospice grp came to turn her and hurt her....hadn't realized she was as frail and injured as she is. The daughter has already been confrontational with Fred which was terribly upsetting for my friend. The last thing she needs is strife; the pain meds sent home aren't working so Hospice is changing those. What needs to happen is that daughter be made to leave; nurses be hired round the clock and Fred and friend be surrounded by peace, cooperation, help, and comfort. I feel so helpless not being there with them but I cannot make the daughter leave or hire the pros needed to care for her. Thank you for your good will and thoughts. We can be more merciful for our pets than for those we dearly love; that I can hardly bear.
