Travis, have you ever grown "Touch-me-not" flowers? Look for "Double Camelia Mix Balsam". It's an heirloom seed and the flowers are quite nice. The kids will love the seed pods though. They are under an internal tension, and when ripe, if you touch them the pop open throwing seeds all around. You may have enough time to put the in the fall flower garden in your zone, but give them a try next spring if not. You need to plan where you put them as they reseed and will keep coming back year after year (and you know the kids are going to be touching them spreading those seeds - that's half the fun). Get the double flowered version, but the single is nice also.

We grew a variety of Balsam earlier this year called "Camelia Impatiens Balsam Mix" and it did pretty well.

ABOUT FENNEL I grow it year round. Central Florida 9b. It will take a light freeze. We don't usually have long freezes. I grow it for the swallowtail butterfly. They're here between May and September. We don't eat it it's just for the caterpillars. It's not hard to grow. I just sprinkle it on the surface and lightly cover. It doesn't like a lot of water. It gets tiny green aphids. The seeds taste like licorice jelly beans.

Travis, I know you have lots of experience with gardening and different varieties. Celery is high maintenance, especially for those of us growing it in 8B.

I'm growing flash collards. They normally do very well for me here in Louisville, Ky, zone 6b but I planted late this year due to the inclement weather. However, I'm going to direct sow some here within the next week or two to try again. I'm also going to plant some fall broccoli but trying something new I bought from I believe Johnny's Seeds. It's called mini broccoli and mainly has smaller head/sprouts but a shorter maturity days. I don't mind smaller heads/sprouts so hoping this will work out for me as around October 15th here, pretty much I am done and don't receive enough sunlight in my area to continue. Also actually have some of the "Amazing Cauliflower seeds" and may try them but don't remember the maturity days. Will direct sow "Golden Cross" cabbage which only has a maturity days of around 45 to 50 days. Had pretty good luck with this in the Spring. Planting baby bok choy also. I am direct sowing everything so we'll see. Sowing some kale probably scarlet.

We got a decent amount of rain and a little wind. The power went out last night at some point but was back on this morning. Rutabaga transplants can be a little tender and fragile at transplanting, but they do well once they get going.

your most important task is to keep celery well-watered at all times, which will reduce the risk of plants bolting or stems turning stringy.

Noted!

My granddaughter just started pre-pre-preschool. She's 2. So her first day was Friday and she cried. It was a half day. Today was her first full day. She goes 8:30 to 5:30, which means I have to call my daughter and wake her up at 6 am and force her to send me a photo of her standing up in the bathroom as proof that she actually got out of the bed. LOL. She's going on 25 and I still have to be her alarm clock so she will drop her daughter off at school on time before going to work. LOL.

I'm up in ATH (go dawgs!) And I've had luck growing softneck traditional garlic. I've ordered from Keene Garlic, which has a softneck sampler where they'll send you different varieties that are supposed to do well down here.

@@LazyDogFarm I'm in 4a I seed started my celery and direct planted my fennel. First time for both. They are growing well. Celery may take up to the time of my frost date to mature, end of September. Its edible but pretty green yet.

I've had great success with the peppermint stick and Utah tall celery seeds here in zone 7. Fresh celery from the garden is the best! I start indoors and transplant into a slightly shady area in my garden. They don't seem to like direct sun. Good luck and enjoy!

Yes Jacqueline celery does very well inside our cattle panels here in zone 5b upstate NY. So tasty and does much better in shade and doesn't like wet leaves either I find. New greenhouse will really be a nice addition to the farm! 🌱👍

Travis...Great show tonight. We're up here in Zone 5b... 20 miles south of the Iowa line. I've grown celery several times. never direct seed, always started early in the year and sent out plants in spring. It doesn't seem to do well if it gets hot quick...seems to like moderate weather best. Never have tried it in the fall. I would bet it would do well if I did grow it in the fall. I've grown two varieties, but the only one I can remember is the one I grew this year and that is Utah Tall from Baker Creek. I noticed that they (Baker Creek) have one called D'Elne Celery. Looks really good...it comes from France. Gonna try it next year. I noticed you never mentioned Turnips. I am not a fan of turnips, but that is certainly something to grow best in the fall. I have a (deer) food plot and will be planting VERY SOON a purple top turnip I buy by the lb. Of course they are one of the best turnips if you like them as well. In fact on the farm we have a place that is know by us and hunters that hunt here as "Turnip Patch".

I like turnip greens, but prefer collards. Not a fan of the turnip roots, so we usually don't grow them.

biggest change in success rate in growing seed started plants is using a tray setup with a good light. unless it's marked as a direct seeding plant, you have far better control of germination in a tray than outside.

Very true. Germination is always better in controlled conditions.

Trisha yearwood makes a really good Thai style salad with napa cabbage but I’m sure you can use similar ingredients could cut down on the sugar for the cilantro dressing

That sounds really good! Gonna have to find that recipe when ours gets ready.

I grew celery for the first time this year. It needs a lot of water and I live on a mountain top so I planted it in a kiddie pool with coco coir on the bottom and holes drilled about 2 inches up the sides to help retain moisture. Worked well. Celery needs light to germinate and rich soil. I grew fennel for the first time also with good results. Just made a fennel, white bean and tomato soup that was great.

Thanks for the tips Larry. Sounds like the celery would benefit from being planted on drip tape.

Im about an hr or 2 south of you at the FL line and I grew celery and fennel in the spring and it did well. Drip is a requirement! They like consistent even watering. I even have celery still growing in the shade. Have to harvest it early in the morning before it wilts in the sun. Both likes 60-75f for growing and germinate best around 75f.

We'll definitely be putting it on drip then!

Im 8b texas.....last year threw a fennel transplant in ground around September....I don't eat/harvest the fennel bulbs. Only plant it for the swallowtail as a host plant. It weathered through the polar vortex to zero degrees and is still massive even though bolted now....tons of butterflies hatched and I am going to save the seeds now and replant for more! Can't advise on the eating side of this plant!! I don't like the licorice taste but it stood 5 ft tall since about April w massive blooms.

I normally don't like licorice, but love this. Slice thin into a no lettuce salad with cucumbers and other vegetables. Toss in an oil n vinegar dressing of choice. I also add one bulb to a pot roast, usually at the beginning with the onions. Add carrots and potatoes later. Can't taste the licorice. Enhances the beef flavor.

I grew a variety of hard neck garlic called Music. We plant it in October in 6A. Garlic will get better when grown in the same place year after year but eventually something will go wrong! Celery is SLOW growing! My old timer friend called it swamp grass because he said that is where it originated. So it wants really good soil(lots of compost) and lots of water. Big returns for a little work.

Sounds like it might benefit from being planted on drip tape and getting a good soaking frequently.

Leaf celery, a herb, is the easiest to grow. I find red celery, such as Redventure, works best for me. I garden in Northwest Arkansas in Zone 6. Celery likes swampy conditions. I grow mine on the north side on my house in a wet area. Good luck!

Good to know about the wet feet. I'll keep that in mind as I find a spot for it.

Brooklyn hopefully at least likes beet tops in place of collards. In a week or so, my Chinese Broccoli seedlings (2 varieties) will be getting planted. Just not sure if we'll have any water left. Oroville Dam is expected to be empty by Halloween. We use Folsom Dam water. The squirrels around here look nasty skinny this year. We have wild fennel and try to collect pollen for seasoning when I can.

It is so interesting to me to watch how and what people from other parts of the country and world grow food. I'm in 6B Pennsylvania and I have every fall crop in except the collard greens. Thats tomorrow. Usually we get a frost in mid to late October. I have a feeling we might get through most of October without a frost. I think I'd probably rather live in a warmer climate but we've been extending our seasons with double 6 mil low tunnels. Although I won't be extended the fall season. We're building raised beds for next season.
