    How to Grow Celery in Your Garden, Never Buy Celery Again


    Growing Celery Indoors: Never Buy Celery Again

    We've figured out how to literally re-grow organic celery from the base of the bunch we bought from the store a couple weeks ago. I swear, we must have been living under a rock all these years or just not be that resourceful when it comes to food, but we're having more fun learning all these new little tips and tricks as we dive deeper into trying to grow more of our own food.



    5 Tips for Growing Celery

    Whether you are enjoying it with peanut butter or ranch dip, celery is a healthy and tasty treat that people love to munch on. This year, why not try growing some celery yourself?



    How to grow celery from stalk

    It’s apparently quite simple: just stand the base in a small dish of water for a week or so until new leaves appear in the center. The leaves will be yellow at first, and once they really emerge and turn green, you can plant the celery in the ground or in a pot.



    Growing Tender Celery

    I’m fairly new at celery as this is only my third year growing it. I guess that’s because I’m not the biggest fan of it. It’s got its place but it’s just a vegetable I use that often. Tom likes it better than I do so we figured we’d give it a try. Of course our last two years were filled with tough, stringy stalks because I was a beginning celery grower and didn’t know what the tricks were.

    Celery is flipping awesome. It just sends up these new little leaves from the centre, and starts to harden up it's root end. I no longer think of my vegges as dead. They are alive in my fridge till I have murdered them with knives, heat, and seasoning. Maybe in a kind of Cryo-state...
