I once found an article that was titled, "Gardening with Leftovers". Of all the examples given, the only one that was something we ate regularly was celery. All you do is save the end, put it in soil cut side up. Once leaves start forming, put it in the ground.
I got to the point of getting two in the ground and overnight something ate them to the ground.. It was for the best, as celery needs a lot of water and I hardly ever remember to water the veggie gardens. They are so far back, I just do not think of them.
