Re: Growing Celery
WOW! Thanks, Has.
I wasn't going to grow celery again this year, but now maybe I'll give it another shot.
What about that "Ever-Green" stuff for aphids. Have you ever tried it? Must be safe if she's organic and puts it right on the edible part of a plant?

Re: Growing Celery
I have never heard of this Ever-Green either...more to come? I am not motivated to grow celery, mostly because of my short growing season.countrynaturals wrote:WOW! Thanks, Has.I wasn't going to grow celery again this year, but now maybe I'll give it another shot.

Re: Growing Celery
have not tried it. I usually use a little olive oil with few drops of dr. Bonners to get it to emulsify or something similar. Let me know if you try it.countrynaturals wrote:

Re: Growing Celery
Evergreen is Pyrethrum Concentrate, which is OMRI certified for organic gardening use. But, it is a non-selective pesticide and will kill beneficial insects as well as the targeted ones.

YIKES! Not a chance. I hate aphids, but not as much as I love my ladybugs and butterflies.

Re: Growing Celery
I was going to try the other method from this thread since I juice a lot of celery.countrynaturals wrote:WOW! Thanks, Has.I wasn't going to grow celery again this year, but now maybe I'll give it another shot.

Bump: Anyone Grow celery?
I am intrigued by this, has anyone grown it, especially with a summer growing season (pretty short).

Re: Growing Celery
Scorpio Rising, I grow celery and swear by the flavor. I grow Utah Tall or Tall Utah depending on which company I get seeds. I grow it all gardening season long and it produces quite well. I start it February and transplant some in May and some of it I tucked in between peppers and tomatoes that I transplanted after harvesting the garlic at the beginning of July and still get good production up until the first frost. I don't know if you know the real taste of celery until you grow your own. Similar to lettuce best eaten in the first 24 hours.

Re: Growing Celery
Thanks for the info, Dan! I think I’m going to give it a try this year. I did see that it liked some shade, so that’s good. I have some space on the north side of trellised beans/cukes. Is it a heavy feeder?Dan in Ct wrote:Scorpio Rising, I grow celery and swear by the flavor. I grow Utah Tall or Tall Utah depending on which company I get seeds.

Re: Growing Celery
Scorpio Rising, most vegetables if not all prefer a fertile, moist well draining soil. It is only when they start producing that their feeding habits change. Celery are slow growers and if I side dress at all it is when I start harvesting. By then plants are good size. I side dress with Espoma Gardentone and only a level table spoon around the plant. Plus I mulch with leaves and have no way of knowing the amount of nutrients they supply during a long growing season. So that is the long answer to your query; is celery a heavy feeder. The short answer is I don't think so but others have it down as a heavy feeder but you are starting off with very fertile soil. Watering and consistent moisture is more important for growth and flavor. Watch the stalks, green is good.
