#HowTo #ArizonaGarden #Growing Celery
Thank you for a wonderful video. Especially your two part answer to blanching celery. You're a true organic gardener.
So nice of you I'm happy to help!
So inspired. I am a baby gardener down in Tucson and so grateful for your resource. I had a bougainvillea that was munched like crazy last Fall…and so much poop fell on my plants under the plant. Let me tell you, my geranium has never looked so beautiful, even the javelina recently munched off the flowers. 😂 Like you have said, animals benefit our gardens much more than they take from it.
Yay AZ Peep!!!! It's so amazing how much of a difference it makes.
wouldn't take much to inspire you.
I love the concept that the life around you being able to eat and natures time to eat, and nature leaving fertilizer. I do not use any harmful pesticides either. New subscriber and happy to have found your channel!
Big welcome to my channel!!! And yes last year I just watched my garden. I saw life develop all around me. It was amazing.
Let's try--- you will be amazed at what you will learn from this wonderful kind person! Keep watching!
Did not know that about the insect eating cycle. Extremely insightful.
Thank you I tried to really learn my garden and how things worked. Once I narrowed it down it's so much easier to grow things
Thank you sharing this video. Great information. I almost blanched mine but decided not. I will be harvesting as well. Your garden is always beautiful and rich. Blessings
Your celery and insights are awesome 🤩 Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you and anytime
Thanks!
Thank you!
Tiffany, your celery is beautiful. I’m growing some for the first time this year and from seed. They’re still pretty young right now but I can actually smell the celery as I pass by. I planted some from a seed packet and I bought a celery seed spice jar and I figured I’d try some of those to see if they would grow and the germination rate was very low but some actually grew.
You’re so right about the insects having their time to eat vs ours. I bought some citrus trees last year and the other day I found some alien-looking grubs on one of them and I was starting to collect them to “get rid” of them. But, something made me stop and ask google who these creatures were that were eating my citrus and it was an “orange dog caterpillar” which later turns into a large swallowtail butterfly. I actually saw one of the butterflies yesterday but it wouldn’t perch long enough for me to get a decent photograph. It was as beautiful as it was large and all I could think was that if I had gotten rid of all of those caterpillars I would also be getting rid of this glorious butterfly. Also, it wouldn’t be able to help me with my pollination process.
Have a blessed and wonderful weekend and thanks for sharing your garden with us.
I just saw my first swallowtail butterfly a few days ago on my property! I was so excited. I am planting my garden as a Monarch butterfly way station to help the plight of those butterflies. Last year was a great success for me here. When I told my neighbor what I was doing she told me that now she knew why she has been seeing so many butterflies. I am now working on plantings to attract different kinds of butterflies. I am lucky to live on a one acre property so I can enjoy different kinds of gardens. Tiffany has taught me so much! I am happy you googled what you found. We can survive and live well without destroying all wildlife around us. We are special people!
@@juneramirez8580 I wish I was your neighbor 🤗🦋. I actually planted some milkweed last year to feed the monarchs and it worked. A bit too well. I only had six plants but two died. They were covered with caterpillars and I was so excited. I hope to get some more plants that are native to my region, southeast Florida. The leaves are coming back on the plants and the monarchs are still fluttering by.
I have a few butterfly species that were visiting before I added specific plants for them and the giant swallowtail was an added bonus. If you get to visually inspect their caterpillars you’ll see the spots and colorations that will be recognizable on the butterfly. It’s nice to find like-minded people. God bless your one acre and everything growing on it. Cheers!
@Karen Sterling the caterpillars that eat the citrus turn into so beautiful Butterflies. Its so hard seeing them eat the entire tree but it grows back so pretty. I think of it like if you mow grass vs letting cows eat it. The ripping of the grass makes it grow back fuller.
@@karensterling5246 we live across the country from each other. I am the low AZ desert. Did you plant tropical milkweed? I planted a bunch here and the monarchs chose it over the 3 native ones I grow. What I don't understand about the tropical not dying back in the winter in our southern areas and the parasites that collect on the tropicals. I did cut mine down to the ground in Feb like it was suggested. But none of my AZ native milkweed die back either and no one tells us to cut that back. I guess it has to do with more leaf space? Not one caterpillar was seen on the natives. I did have lot of Queen and smaller butterflies Even collected one thinking it was a monarch. They look alike in all stages. It hatched about the same time the monarch did so I could compare them. This year I hope to have a larger screened area for potted plants and caterpillars so it's not so much work for me.😊😊😊 I think with so many people planting milkweed it has helped the monarch population grow this passed year! Hope you have a wonderful growing year!
@@juneramirez8580 I have the native variety for my region. The orange/red colored ones were successful but the yellow variety didn’t take. I saw a couple of you tubers who grew their milkweeds in a screened off area and placed the caterpillars in them to keep them safe whilst they consume the leaves. Those guys have a voracious appetite.
I didn’t know about trimming them back either but they did start greening up from the bottom recently. I’m doing my best to do a sort of photo journal of the various wildlife that visit my space and the plants that they’re attracted to.
As far as the milkweed goes I believe the native varieties vary by region. I suppose that makes sense considering weather, soil and topographic variations.
I feel we could all do with happy gardening experiences this year considering the turbulent world events over the past couple of years. I think Mother Nature wants the same for us when we get unexpected visits from various animals/insects that bring a little joy to our 💕.
Thanks for sharing your feedback from across the country.
I have 2 very flushed parsley patches in my small balcony garden that are about 1 year old. If you don’t look close enough, you might think that they are celeries because they are so abundantly green and leafy😅.
Most likely, they will be used for fresh tabbouleh and pesto.
Anywho…
The most important question for the day:
Girl, you need to teach an another sister how to wrap her hair with those stunning scarfs’ repertoires that you have been showing.
They look so wonderful on her!
Ohhhh I love parsley and Awww thank you. I was thinking of doing a video about wrap styles for the garden.
@June Ramirez thank you so much
Hey ❤
You look so beautiful 😍
Such a great video...
We will be growing 6 months of our own food this year!!!
Awww thank you and that's amazing to grow an entire 6 months!!!
Thanks for sharing first time growing celery tomorrow I'm going to go harvest my celery.
Oh yay you are going to love it!!!
Thanks for the information, I was waiting for my celery stalks to get big like the store to harvest some, now after your info, I am going out to pick some and try it. 🙂
I hope you love it. I didn't like celery until I grew my own and picked it young and unbleached. It has so much more flavor
Thanks for sharing! Great tips, I'm currently blanching my celery because I thought that's what you're supposed to do.
Oh no that's for store bought stuff because it has so many chemicals on it. Our home gardens are grown with love.
Love celery and it's in my garden also enjoyed today's video.
Awww thank you so much for stopping by. I'm happy you are enjoying your garden.
I had a total fangirl moment... I was like that's my name that's my name! 🤣 I was so happy to participate in your seed swap! I'm growing my very first successful celery right now and am now thinking I should harvest before its huge because I was just going for size! Didn't know I'd be missing out on flavor. Can't wait to see Monday's video!
Awww I love it, I'm so excited for you you are going to grow a ton of celery.
what's with "I was like " ? was it your name, or was it not ? you people have a stupid way of talking.
“Because… it’s gross.” 😂😂
Thank so much for this! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hahaha it is!!!
I love the concept of knowing when it’s your time to eat. I am curious about how to differentiate between the insects that will just decimate and damage your crop without recovery and those that will just eat eat but then plant will grow luscious again at which time it is our turn to eat. I will have to check out your videos and see how you apply this concept to various veggies.
Hey so with that I really just learned what is best to grow in my garden for my climate. There are some things I just don't grow or I grow a different variety because it's just not meant for my climate. I think that makes the biggest difference with bug pressure.
First!
Awww you are the best!!!!
Is it too late to sow celery on our low Az desert!? As I mentioned earlier from what I heard it was difficult to grow in the desert so I never tried. I do have celery seeds.
You should try it. Plant it in the fall, it will get attacked by literally everything. It's funny they we will eat the leaves and leave the stalks. It will be worth it when you have celery in the early spring.
She keeps saying celery this does not look like celery does she means cilantro
Nope I mean celery. I can show you my Cilantro in the next video. I pick my celery younger because it taste wayyyyy better
@@TeamBensonHomestead oh I see 😂 I was looking for cilantro videos and thought it was cilantro from the thumbnail but as I was watching I'm like this doesn't look like celery to me. I would love a cilantro video. Maybe how to grow large amounts of larger plants. My cilantro always stays so small.
@@ezclean7022 I will do something on the next video. My are starting to bolt but we are still using them.
Omgoosh my mouth is watering with all your celery. I love juicing celery with cucumbers ginger and mint.❤
Ohhhh that is such an amazing combo and so healthy for you.
Wow I learn so much from such a young person! I enjoy everyone of your vlogs. . Didn't know any of what you told us about celery. I think I heard from someone that celery was hard to grow here. Something about the length of time or high temps we get? But picking them at an earlier age from what you buy in a store solves that problem. I guess because we buy overgrown celery in stores that is what I am used to. I love your small garden vlogs. You teach us just how much we can grow in a well organized small garden. Love to see how you preserve your harvests. Again thank you so much. From just one of your fans in Glendale AZ.
Yay AZ Peep. It's also starting them I the fall that makes it possible for them to grow. It will get eaten by everything, they will eat all of the leaves but it will grow back so lush
I love your channel so much thank you for all the information. I want to do my garden the same way, organic. It makes so much sense wowwwww the cycle of life lol. Also my daughter and hubby have bad allergies what can I do? I seen your video as well
It really is all about getting them use to the pollen. We drank alot of teas with herbs from my garden and local honey. I really think local honey is the key to getting use to pollen. I use local honey in foods, breads, and teas. The different herbs I mention will help with the symptoms and keeping your body strong but you don't want to forget the local honey.
Trusting the process.... Thanks for pointing that out. What kind of celery did you grow? I'm growing Tall Utah (seedlings are sooooo slowwww growing 😆).
Yes best lesson I have ever had. And I have to check I got these ones from Native Seeds. I also picked up the pink celery from Baker Creek to grow next fall
Great harvest! You’re absolutely right that the celery you grow tastes much better than store bought. I look forward to see what you do with your celery. Other than eating it fresh, I chop it up and eat it raw or cook with it. I freeze some and also dehydrate some to make celery salt.
It's the best I think it makes one of the most amazing seasonings and adds so much flavor to dishes.
This is my first time growing celery successfully, and I Have not covered it I just cut it when is young and I like it ☺️
It taste so much better when you don't cover it. What did you think of the taste.
@@TeamBensonHomestead I love it 🥰 I would not go back to store to buy any 😀
Some nice celery there!! Still a bit warm for celery over here!!
Thank you I'm hoping to get one more crop of them before it gets too hot here
Very informative! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Your celery looks more like Asian celery.
The ones in the round pots are
NEW SUBSCRIBER!!! Where can I get organic heirloom chinese celery seeds like you planted here in this video?
Big welcome to my channel!!! Those ones I got from Survival Garden Seeds.
@@TeamBensonHomestead thank you!!!
You have not shown how you grew a years supply of celery ! All you did was yak ! yak ! yak !
Lol sorry you didn't like my video. I hope you find what you are looking for in someone else's channel.
@@TeamBensonHomestead Where in my comment did I say, I did not like your video ? Nothing wrong with your video, except that it did not convey what was displayed in the title of your video which was " How I Grow A Years Worth Of Organic Celery In A Small Space " there was absolutely nothing in your video that showed how you did it. Hope you are not having trouble understanding English ?
Brilliant! I never knew that about blanching and also about the caterpillars....Can't wait for part 2!
Yes its just a few things that I feel like I do differently. I also took a year and a half to just see what life is like in my garden and just what happens with the wildlife. It's really just about trusting the process
❤️ your organic green thumb 👍 thanks for sharing :)
Awwe thank you so much. But it really was just letting the garden be. It has so much life in it.
I want to grow celery so bad. I hope I can do it this year
You can!!! Sending you positive growing vibes
Great video I learn so much, I'm growing celery too. Think I will harvest soon.
Yes just try one or two stalks at first that way you can see when you like the flavor the best
@@TeamBensonHomestead thanks lady❤
Beautiful 🤩
Thank you
Beautiful celery. I’ll try AGAIN to grow it. Haven’t had any luck thus far.
S/N: I received my black peppercorn plant a few days ago. I’m praying I can keep it alive until I can transfer it to my garden.
Keep trying it took me about 2 tries before I got the timing down and yay for growing Black pepper. Our nights are still to cold so I'm waiting to put mine out too.
