Growing Celery
Two summers ago I bought 6 started plants. They grew beautifully, and I kept waiting for them to look like the ones I buy in the grocery store before cutting them. That never happened. Finally my husband wanted to plow that garden section for the end of the year, so I cut the tops that were there. (leaving the roots) I was not impressed with the yield, and it had a rather bitter taste. My husband dragged the garden.
Imagine my surprise when the celery started to grow again! He obviously hadn’t pulled up the roots. I actually got a lot more yield off those plants after I figured out that you can cut the top off and it just keeps growing. …..like I said I knew nothing about growing celery!
Last year, I started celery from seed in the house and then transplanted it. It took a LONG time for it to get going, and then got smothered by a volunteer pumpkin plant I let grow. I decided starting them from seed was a little too much bother, seeing as I don’t have a green house.
This is my OWN picture of my started celery Oh shucks, I forgot the watermark! |
Enter Pinterest this year. Pictures of the end of a celery stalk growing new leaves were everywhere. I had to try it. I cut off the end of my organic celery stalk and set it in a bowel of water. Within 2-3 weeks I had new stalks and leaves. I planted it today. When it gets planted in the garden I expect to keep cutting the tops off and getting a huge good crop to dehydrate or freeze. I’ll have to let you know how it goes. If anyone has more advise on how to grow celery please share! I’m trying to learn it all
We’ll see how it goes. |
