Carrot Bonsai

This is what I like to call a Carrot Bonsai it is just the top of a carrot cut off and put in water. I was using some carrots that had been in the fridge for a little while and had started to sprout little anemic shoots from the tops where I had broken off the greens. I thought, hmmm, that's kind of interesting, I wonder if they will continue to grow. So, I just cut off the tops like I always do, and then stuck one into a jar top with some water on my window sill, and after a few days I had what you see above. A nice little bit of green for a long cold gray winter. It seems to work with any carrot top - give it a try!

So strange to me that a carrot would do this. I wonder what would happen if I planted it?
