I'd be lying if I said I never got caught in a beer trap myself.
Haha - a common mishap for me too!
😂
😂😂
😂
Ha thanks for the laugh!
Love your videos !I am a twelve year boy from Portugal and i plant so many stuff and i love it!Thank you,my new favourite youtube gardening Channel!
That is great to hear Mateus! Thanks for watching!
That’s so cool to hear. I’m 52 and only just discovering the joy of growing my own veggies. I wish I had of started at 12 . Imagine how much I’d know by now lol.
I grew "peppermint stick" celery form seed a few years ago, let one plant flower (bee food!) and go to seed and now I have self-seeded celery growing everywhere, including in my lawn with no care whatsoever. 😄
Omg that's hilarious!
How was the taste? Just wondering. Blessings and namaste 🙏 😇 ❤️ 💪 🌎 ✌️
Watching this to see if I'm doing it right. It's my first year adding celery to my garden.
Me too. I saw it at the garden nursery when I only went in 'for a couple things' and had to grab a tray bc they looked so lush lol can always find room!
I love how he said, “tickle it into the soil”. That’s cute 🥰☀️🌈
Me too! Just tickle it in to the soil!!
This is my first time growing celery, thanks for the instructions
There’s something about your catchy music and your high energy for gardening that really makes my day when I watch you. I think I can accept the celery challenge and win this 2024. No luck in the past, Thanks friend. Happy Gardening, Carry on and grow! ❤
Hope you get a great harvest from them. Happy gardening! :-)
Thank you, I've never seen anyone explain growing celery before other than an old neighbour who grew it in a trench. He grew so much we used to find bundles of it and other veg left on our door step an least once a week for years !! With no garden to speak of this year my wife has planted a celery stump which has taken root very well, it was just a super market variety so it will be interesting to see how it develops !
You had a lovely neighbour!
@@GrowVeg Yes he was and thankfully lived to a ripe old age too! I suppose as a result of good genes and good grub ! He barely ever left the village his whole life ! One gardening tip he gave me was how he fed all of his plants, at the start of the season he would go to a nearby farming friend and collect a hessian bag full of sheeps manure which he tied to a brick and dropped into a water butt. This water he used all year, his garden certainly thanked him for it !!
@@ianelley Wonderful visual. Thanks!🌿
I've grown celery for several years in an artificial bog. Used a rubber pond liner to make a bed about 3 by 4 ft. This video will help me in future plantings.
Growing celery in Canada. I've only had success with the Utah Tall variety, so I've been sticking with that variety. We start indoors in March, and put them in the greenhouse in May. Water daily and twice a day on hot days. We eat some fresh, and dry them for use all winter. Only last year we didn't get any, because my elderly mom came to help weed, and pulled them all out! :)
Hope you get a good crop this season. :-)
Yikes
Am growing celery in my greenhouse. Seeds are so tiny that it was recommended to sprinkle them ON TOP OF soil and water gently and often. I have found they absolutely love wet feet and so I give them water daily. They seem to love growing with/next to broccoli so that keeps the celery happy. No harvest yet, but now that i see one can harvest celery ribs one at a time that’s a great tip I had not heard of previously! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your experience Geri. The seeds are tiny and the seedlings certainly require steady hands to transplant!
I never gave it a thought to grow celery. I will have to remember for next year.
Remember to plant celery this year. 💙🌹💙
I have grown Utah Tall here in East Texas, USA. It is amazing how the leaves can freeze and then thaw out and be fine in our little cold snaps.
My celery this year is loving a more protected, shadier area as opposed to being out in full sun, growing well in an EarthBox
Great video as always! It's my first year with a veg plot and decided to grow the Loretta variety. I hadn't realised how patient I had to be for the seeds to germinate, so I sowed some more! Now I am inundated so it's a good job I like it! 😁
Thir year is my first attempt at growing self blanching Loretta celery in Cornwall, so far so good.
This is my 1st time for celery. I also grow celeriac as fantastic soup base 👍
Thank you so much! you answered all my questions that I didn’t find in the other celery videos. Plus you did it with such enthusiasm and quickly. Keep doing what you’re doing❤️🌱🌻
Thanks so much - enjoy your celery!
Uploading a video about an early-spring plant in the middle of summer is a very cruel tease, GrowVeg!
Love that you drank the rest of the beer. LOL
Can't let it go to waste - although in this instance it was non-alcoholic beer left over by some guests. Not my usual tipple it has to be said!
This is the first year I we were able to grow celery! This time we tried growing it from the stump of celery from the local grocery store, but I'm afraid it might not yield as much because it's so late in the year.. but either way I was so happy to see growth!
Thank you for your easy to follow videos! Straight to the point and love the step by step instructions.
I was thinking about trying celery this next year. I have to do my "gardening" in containers, so I will probably be doing my bottom watering system. I'm hoping to TRY to grow all the veggies for being able to make beef stew, getting ONLY the beef from the store, but everything else from my driveway! Fun plan, just hope I can pull it off!!! 🤞🤞
That sounds like a really fun project. I'm sure you'll pull it off. :-)
Celery keeps on giving also! It's now a permanent resident in our garden! I really like the taste of "tango" celery but am also trying "utah" this year but am trying from seed. 1st time, wish me Blessings not luck. Blessings and namaste family 🙏 😇 ❤️ 💪 🌎 ✌️
Central Florida. First year for me. My new favorite. So versatile. And great to havest by the stem as needed. Great soups!
I think I’ve the perfect spot to grow celery as my plot has 3 natural springs running through it. The previous holder planted yellow flag irises which I’ve now dug up and it is in this spot where I’ll be planting.
That sounds like a great spot for celery!
I'm a beginner, in Australia, growing celery in a glass of water and starting to think when and where to plant it in soil. Thanks for an informative and engaging video!
I regrew celery and other veg a few times that way, in water. but some of them died when I moved them to earth. my neighbour says the roots they had were "water roots" (not sure that is the right english word, but it is what she said) I tried a few more times and one of them "took" and has grown into a tremendous plant in a window box.
First time celery grower! Great video! Simple and straightforward!! Thanks! I’m excited to see how this goes!
I sure enjoy and appreciate your succinct and to-the-point videos. You are knowledgeable, charming, and well-prepared. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching! :-)
excited to grow my celery this year!
Growing giant red for the first time, love the tips.
I'm a non-blancher cuz I love it GREEN. This video has motivated me- I need to grow more than one plant at a time from grocery scraps. ;-)
You definitely do - fresh and crunchy stems can't be beat! :-)
❤ thanks for classifying the mounding trick! I've never seen that before! Thank you!
I left mine in the ground over winter, and now they are sprouting nicely in the spring.
Great video, Ive planted my celery from an offcut. First time planting celery. Super excited to harvest once ready.
Did not know about the self blanching variety so will sow some next Spring. Looking forward this year to seeing how my celeriac develops after watching your celeriac video. Thank you.
I tried planting celery stalk from a left over one from the supermarket. I planted it in a deep pot and watered well, sunny spot but against a wall. It grew into a 4 foot tall plant and eventually flowered. Wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing so didn't eat any. Unfortunately my husband crushed it while making a fence but I might try it again next year.
I hope it might appear for you again. It might have seeded itself, so you may have seedlings spring up.
This answered my question (when to harvest)--THANK YOU! :)
Thanks for this. I’m growing celery for the first time between a few short rows of corn. They get great shade at mid day, but I know there’s a lot of competition for moisture.
Ohhh that is a great idea. I think I’ll try that. I was just wondering how to shade mine best. Thanks for your suggestion
Thank you so much for making this process so simple! I live in the eastern part of North Carolina, and I am growing the Utah Tall this year 🤞.
Great informative video on celeey! I tried growing it last year and had so/so success. After watching this video I definitely see what I did wrong, so much appreciated! Unfortunately I was to late getting seeds started this year, but I'll be ready for next year's crop! Thanks!!
Thank you for this excellent instruction. Well done!
Very timely video! Thank you! Just planted out a second batch of bought celery plantlets in my garden in the hills of the Algarve. Hope the summer heat won't be too much for them....thankfully water not a problem.
Thank you! It’s our first time
best celery video out there by far!! thnx
I'm growing Utah Tall celery next year. Glad I searched and found your video. Now to find out if this type of celery is self blanching ot needs to be trenches. Thank you so much for showing us how to grow our own food.
yes, a cruel to pit this out now! February would have been great help. With all the new victory gardens, I didn't get celery because it was sold out. I have grown it every year otherwise. Water is so important as with lower water the celery flavor is very strong. My mistake the first year. I will try to propagate the plants from celery roots but they are delicate since most of the root is cut off in the store. Good luck everyone!
I enjoy your videos too and they are short and to the point. Thank you!
I'll be growing some celery next year for sure! I must grow in containers where I live, so it may be a challenge.
First year growing celery and the Mrs. chose a pink variety. I had no idea how to grow it. Planted about 6" apart in a raised bed and just let it grow as it will. Poor watering habits and no training or trenching. We ended up with shrubs about 4" diameter at the base and around 100 stalks none bigger around than a pencil and mostly fibrous ribs with little flavor.
Now she wants to know what we did wrong. so she can grow it better next year. I knew Ben would have a video. Now I know they need to be trained or trenched much like leeks. And they require a stead supply of water. This is one that if she wants to grow we need to put in that drip irrigation system on a timer.
I think lots of watering is the key Mark. Hope next season's crop is better.
I'm actually regrowing celery and it's doing beautifully ❤️🙏☺️ amazing how we can replant our fruits and veggies. 🙏
I am attempting to grow Chinese pink celery this year
Really helpful and enjoyable video to watch! Thank you 😊
I am Amazed with how well my celery is growing. Sowed the seeds back in late August 2019 (i'm in VIC AUS) and they are still going strong with none of them having bolted in the colder weather.
That's seriously impressive going Emma!
Thanks Ben. I've never grown it before, I'm trying Pascal and Pink Blush varieties. 👍
Great stuff! :-)
Nice easy step by step video.....thank you.
I grew celery a couple years ago. I didn't get any nice fat stalks that i was hoping for. I will try again this year.
I am planting celery this year and this video helped me a lot!
Fab stuff. Hope you get a super crop. :-)
first time growing celery! germinating in Argentina. And it is winter time! we have pretty mild winters. Thanks for all the useful information! I love your videos and started a planner.
Brilliant Janine, thanks so much for watching.
just what I need. thank you.
Brilliant video - as always, really informative. This is my first year growing celery and I'm amazed how easy it has been. All the best. Mags 🌸
Thanks Mags.
Thanks so much for this video, my celery has been slow growing and with your tips and optimism I feel more confident that we will get there, onwards and upwards, immense gratitude. I look forward to watching more from you!
Thanks Bhadra. :-)
First year having any luck growing celery - bought plants at the nursery. Tried growing them from bases of celery bought at the grocery store. They started well and then rotted after being placed in soil. I have some in the garden & some in pots - hoping I'll be able to keep these going over the winter.
Thankyou. Tried it last year but didnt work out. Trying again this year, a giant red variety, planted them out yesterday. Will keep your tips in mnd.
I am growing a pink celery. Now that I have seen your very informative presentation I need to check if they are self blanching or will need hilling up!! Excellent stuff. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video very helpful thank you! ☘️
I am growing celery this year! It has really been fun and it is easy too!! Love all your viedos and tips! Thanks so much! And love Rosie too!
So pleased you're enjoying growing celery - it's a very satisfying veggie to grow. :-)
Thank you.
Another good vid. Thank you. Paul
Very helpful, thank you.
I am trying celery this year.
Thanks, Ben! I just planted some celery, propagated from a grocery store head. It's doing well so far. I'll definitely incorporate your suggestions in growing it. Love all your videos.
So pleased you enjoyed this video. Good luck with your celery. :-)
Lovely celery
Love your garden and your vids :) Super knowledgeable! Thank you!! Happy gardening :) :) :)
Thanks for the kind words. :-)
My project for 2023 is to grow my own celery. I never thought that I would see the day that I had to plant celery. It was always a sensible choice at the market to buy. Now prices have skyrocketed and the quality of produce has waned. Celery just does not last in the crisper at all anymore.
I am sensing these days that people are going to have to dive into gardening in order to survive. Not live but to survive. I am by no means a doomsday purveyor but the writing on the wall is clear to me.
Don't get me wrong, at times there are some "deals" available. My Dad has offered to split the 5 kilo bags of turnips, beets and 10 kilo bags of potatoes and carrots with us. Assessing the situation it seems like a savings but still it is quite costly. There may still be a large amount of waste with that cost savings.
I know what you mean Kris. I can see the writing on the wall too.
I started a tiny herb garden for my "mum", its actually for myself😂 she has rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, mint and lemongrass. Today I sowed celery (wrong so need to resow) jalapeño and chives.
I'm sure your mum appreciates it too though!
Excellent video! 😁
A good and timely vid. Thanks. Good value as always. Not all my celery in modules made it but I have been able to set out two short rows and some extras. After this naughty UK midlands heatwave, the reminder to keep moist is well taken. Enjoy and learn from your vids and enjoy the Dig for Victory Forum - two winners. Paul
Thanks for the kind words there. :-)
thanks for info.. tried celery last year, didn't have success... watched your video and going to give it a try again this year with starter plants.. here we go lol
Hope you get a superb crop. Just remember to keep it well watered!
Another great video, Ben.
While we are half a world apart seasonally - it's 32 here in Johannesburg today - a quick seasonal mental adjustment and we're good to go planting wise.
Celery will definitely be on the 'menu' this year.
Great to hear celery's on the menu Douglas! :-)
Perfect timing! My celery is growing quite nice! However the heat is really getting to them here in California! Lol
Oh yeah! Cheers on da beers my brotha!
Cheers!
I have two super healthy looking plants that I grew from celery tops sprouted on the kitchen window sill :) Pleased to hear I can cut the stems as I need them rather than the whole plant :)
Growing celery..take 4! I have failed the last 3 attempts. I Will have celery this year!
Keep with it Jamilla. Good luck. Fourth time lucky!
Tango celery, an open pollinated variety, and cutting celery, plus I'm trying Mars root celery or celeriac. Thank you for the excellent synopsis of growing celery, I will be heeding your advice on cool weather protection, growing in rich peaty soil, and plenty of water 💦 🌱🌼.
Yes I am trying again wanted to grow it with other things to keep in the moisture - but ran out of space! So in a hot spot lots of green manure hoping to plant vetch soon in the same bed; hoping it will come up in the heat!
Hope you manage to get a good crop. :-)
My celery has just developed its first adult leaves after popping its head out of the seed starter mix!!!
Hope it will like the shady spot I have planned for it...
Thanks! I needed that My books aren,t quite as informative
Never thought of using beer to keep the pests away🤣 good to know
I love wild Celery. Cheers from Japan 🇯🇵 I go looking for young plants to grow. It tastes alot different than the ones you get from the store more bitter but its great in the winter for soups and fish dishes.
It certainly has better flavour for sure. Thanks for watching!
Just liked and subscribed fantastic video just getting back into garden now the sun is shining 😂 keen to grow my own fruit and veg your videos are so informative and interesting thanks again
Great stuff David. Cheers for the sub!
We found one particular variety of celery called Victoria. Not only it performed very well under grim UK weather (we had not very many sunny summer days, mostly foggy and cold-ish), but also continued to produce juicy stalks throughout the winter in non-heated greenhouse and next year as well. Sadly, I cannot find seeds anymore and it was not a heirloom but F1.
I hope you manage to find it again - it sounds like a superb variety!
Thanks for this. Just started doing the beer bait for slugs. Caught a huge tiger slug and 2 smaller slugs. My chooks really enjoyed the marinated treat when I had to dispose of the dead ones.
I’m sure my eggs are going to taste even better now too ha ha
I bet it will add extra richness to the eggs for sure!
Going to give it a try this year 2022 I’m in zone 7 northeast. Love your video . Thank you for your knowledge. 😊🪴🏡
Great stuff - enjoy!
Great stuff! Thanks for make the video! Greetings from Ireland :D
Thanks for watching!
This is my second year growing Tall Utah celery in Zone 8b (Seattle). Although I start it indoors and plant out fairly early, it isn't usually ready until fall but it overwinters great and is wonderful for winter soups and stews! Thanks for the very helpful video.
Seattle has a good mild maritime climate that usually sees celery overwinter - very similar to my part of the world.
@@GrowVeg Do you have any smart ways to use up the greens (besides stock)? We don't have chickens and I feel bad composting so much but maybe I shouldn't.
@@sarakathleenh hey I make celery powder with it great for stocks. Hope this helps.
As always, THANK YOU! I grow Apium graveolens which does not produce stalks, it grows like parsley but taste like celery. I love it. Request - when you produce these fantastic videos, could you include how to collect and store the seeds for the produce you highlight. I think we should be as self sufficient as possible and this next step would be quite valuable.
Thanks Vicki. Do check out our videos on seed saving. Celery seed would be saved and processed in much the same way as carrot seed.
Great tips :) I didn't know wild celery grows in boggy soil, that explains their need for such a constant soil moisture. I'm trying the chinese pink celery this year, but I have to admit I've been neglecting it quite a bit and it's not looking too hot at the moment.
I tried growing the same celery with zero success. After watching a few videos I’ve learned what I did wrong and I’m eager to try again.
My first year growing celery, Im trying for 6 Utah Tall Celery. I started them in a grow tent directly under the light in a progogator tub that I put about 1/2 of warm water in every other day. I think I am seeing one starting to sprout so Im getting excited. Thanks for the tips.
that was supposed to say 1/2 an inch of water every other day. I think I see one starting to germinate
Great idea. Hope they're all germinating nicely for you now.
I tried celery from seeds last year and got nothing...I was doing it wrong. Saved me again Ben, I'm going to try the rest of my seeds. I need celery as a 'free' ingredient in many of my canning recipes.
Thanks 👌
Excellent presentation. Liked very much. I wanted to know, why my celery plant that I've grown from organic store bought stalk base, is getting very wide and bushy; but, not growing into tall stalks as the ones I see in the stores? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Romin. Unfortunately you can't just regrow celery from the stalk of another celery plant. Well you can, but you'll only get bushy, predominantly leafy growth - but unlikely any usable stalks. You're best growing it from seed. That doesn't mean to say the leaves are useable - you could still use them to flavour soups etc.
