Charles, only you could make me watch a clip on celery...

Watching your Videos brings peace to my mind. ❤️

Michigan, USA. My celery is doing awesome. We have had almost a drought and a few very heavy rains. I have had to water the celery almost every day since late May. My 3 year no till/dig garden on heavy clay and compost with some wood chips ground through has produced beautiful celery ready for harvest now. Thank You very much Charles Dowding, Your methods work good here. you should see all the mushrooms in the beds.

I found where I’m at, with hot sun, celery did greater this year in a shadier protected spot, I dehydrate it for use in soups and grind it into powder for soups stews flavoring

I've grown celery for the first time this year. I use it as a cut-and-come again crop, harvesting the outer sticks and leaving the heart to keep growing. I freeze it periodically too for winter stocks, soups and stews.

I do the same successfully on the US West coast. I let the plants bolt and save the seed for cooking. I have several volunteers, a few of which which I transplant and the others go to good homes! Thank you for the informative video, Charles.❤

Hello Charles, this year was my best celry crop ever. I planted it out early with fleece at night when its' frosty. I harvested all side shoots for soups and later stews. Then harvested the entire celry later. I left 2 plants to go to seed. I'm now harvesting lovely celry seed for kitchen use. It smells wonderful. Yes F1 varieties are worth growing. I had great luck with Pink Oriental Celry too. Rather small but delightful in my salads or steamed veggies. Blessings.

Also, if you find one with a few roots still on it, you can plant it and it will regrow again ;) same with leeks I've recently found! :) I try all sorts of things just to see what happens :) I've got some lovely leeks regrowing in a large tub in my garden, after having planted the end bits after I'd eaten the rest and they started to grow again and now they are quite big :)

What great looking celery, I have sandy soil and now don’t bother trying to grow it especially as I only need a little and buy it instead. However I find it also helps to pop the whole of the cut end in water to keep it turgid. Celery also makes lovely soup either on its own or with some Stilton added....mmmmmm 😋

All those lovely leaves! They are great for soups and stews, salads and in a sandwich with red apple and grated cheddar! I do like the crunchy stems but really love the leaves. We have no difficulty growing it here in Ireland because we have plenty of rain...rarely need to water anything only wee seedlings in their trays. Our garden has good airy breezes too even on hot summer days so maybe that's why we never have had any discolouration of the leaves.

Thanks Charles! Think I’ll give them a try. 😀

I agree that celery does need mucky soil to grow in. I seem to think that the leaves on well grown celery are the tastiest and good to throw in the stock pot. I read about a man who blanched his celery with wooden boards before harvesting. It ostensibly made the stalks more tender. He was the host of "The Victory Garden" television series in America. His book is the best guide I`ve come across for gardening in the northeast here in the states. He stressed the use of Agri-chemicals, which I am against. The rest of his wisdom was pretty sage.

BEAUTIFUL CELERY!!!!! THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS SHARING!!!

Thank you, Charles! Great information about side shoots and the effect of too little water. I just love celery and your crop looks delicious! I’ve been playing with rooting it in my kitchen window. In water it seems to generate very strong dark leaves, which rather surprised me. Most people I know eschew the leaves (in the western US) but cooks do use them, and you’ve reminded me of that old style celery stock. So good! With fresh peas and green onions it tastes like spring!A few years ago older cookbooks warned against overdosing on selenium by eating too much celery leaf. I wonder if times have changed and big agro business has stripped selenium out of the soil in larger overused agricultural land, and we are getting less? Anyway, I think I will transplant my recycled celery and see if I can get some seeds for the winter. I like them better than salt.🙂

You know Charles, I read about 7 years ago or so, that it was advantageous to take any lateral leaf shoots coming off celeriac in order to grow a cleaner root ball. I’ve only ever read it once. I did try it and liked the results. So it makes sense to me that taking side shoots off the celery could work as well. Of course it’s not an easy task especially if you’ve got a lot of plants!!!!🥴 Growing celery for the first time this year and will definitely try it.

I'm growing some for seeds, which I like in soups since the kids don't like celery in their soup! So I grew the middle out of a grocery store celery, rooted it in water, potted it in dirt and planted it out. I thought they needed a lot of water but in our heavy clay soil they seem pretty happy with just what the sky drops, very low-maintenance, fuss-free plants (tho they're not growing very quickly, maybe they would with more water...)
