If I were you, I would wrap the main part of the stalk in foil, maybe, to keep it away from the sun. This way the stalk would be whiter and more tender and not so fibrous. I am glad you shared this experiment. I think I will try it too.
Omg thank you, that's all i wanted to know. Every vid i have seen is telling me how to plant an olď celery base but i just wanna know how to get them more pale and juicy and crunchy! THANK YOU!!! 😊
@@MikeKincaid79 yes you are, I love the way you include the babes, they are soooo adorable. And by the way, I have decided that I want to adopt you and your family, as mine, I know you have your own, I'll just be a mom and grandma on the side .😂😂😇
I have been experimenting the same thing with green onions, red beets, carrots and celery. They never miss, always grow. Your plants really grew very well. And I am very glad that your daughter likes celery which is an awesome vegetable, and extremely good for health. Thank you for sharing.
The food we Grow ourselves always seems to taste better. I think Hard work and anticipation plays a big part in that. I, too, like peanut butter on my celery & raising or craisens on top of the peanut butter = “ants on a log” excellent snack!
Yep, I grew up with the "ants on a log" too! This celery plant is still alive and made it through the winter while planted outdoors in the ground. I'll have to do an update.
My wife loves celery and we can never get it to grow from seed so that's what prompted this experiment. It was really easy, fun to do, and I think we're going to grow celery out in the garden like this every summer from now on.
I did this with 10 store bought Celery 3 years ago. You don't have to suspend the Celery, I put mine into clear plastic pots. When the roots were a good length, I planted them out into a large raised bed. Location.. I garden flowers, fruit & vegetables near to Kew Gardens in the UK. They die down a little in the winter but 3 years later, they're growing well and are very tasty! If I want the stalks to be paler & slightly sweeter, I wrap just the stalks with a long piece of corrugated cardboard to keep the sun off the stalks (don't use foil as this will bake the plant in sunlight). Allow the leaves to get the sunlight. Who knew Celery was perennial?! PS: Mike. I have just remembered that you can blanch Celery by earthing up your plants.
mike, carrots, onions, water cress, and other stuff will grow like that to,, the deer and rabbits love that stuff here where i am, thank for the hard work in makeing these videos, be safe, be strong, be free, be blessed
russ sherwood I have done a couple different kinds of lettuce, celery and carrots successfully...going to try some of the others...I think onions are next!!
@@DB-xj1un some of the fresh herbs do well also, onions work to, both the tops and bottoms, just cut in half, i dont remember what all i have done, be safe, be strong, be free, be blessed
I have mine from the store, shooting tiny roots now 2.5 months later. But I screwed-up at first. I cut the stalks all the way down. There’s no fatter stalks at all. But within 3 weeks, I got tons of middle shoots, then roots 1-2 mm a few weeks later. It’s been 3 MONTHS in H2O & I should’ve potted it up 2 months ago. But watching this, is pushing me to pot it now. Who doesn’t like FREE CELERY?! 😁
I did this experiment once but put it directly in the ground if I remember well. Alley is just like you Mike! Good to see you! Hugs to you and the girls🤗💜
You can tell! Just like me and dad, I was the girl and the boy he didn't have.. Now he can't do much....and neither can I. Man that is so hard! I like to get my nose into everything. Ugh, one day
Mike, I have been planting celery (I call them stumps), from the grocery store, and also green onions (root ends), for several years now. It was a project I did with my grandkids on Thanksgiving one year. Try rooting green onions, carrot tops, and leeks, the same way, it works! ~Margie
Carrot tops you do this with, will only regrow the leaves. You won't get a new carrot. Having said that, you could potentially get seeds *for* new carrots, this way...
@@DaZebraffe Exactly, the whole point of our fun experiment was to get things you wouldn't normally try to regrow to see what would actually grow and produce something, even if that something was the seed. By the way, the carrot tops did grow, but the roots were multiple and quite fibrous!
Loved your video! Great father!...Great daughter!! Tried this last year and grew in my raised bed (full sun). It did well until it bolted with the heat and grew multiple short knots in each stalk (usually has one knot from which it grows a mini stalk with leaf)...based on that I think I would plant in part shade next time. Could you post a follow up video and let us know how you did with it, and the harvest? Also, I believe you can harvest the root in the late fall (celery root). I laughed soooo hard when your propagationmania ran with your wife’s idea 😂🤣 Loved it!!!
Fun video....fun times with your daughter. She will always remember it...for sure. I have several going on my deck....moving along kind of slow but pretty foliage. I' not sure just how they do it but I think I remember hearing that dirt has to be continually pulled to the plant in order to blanch it and keep it from becoming too green and strong. I wonder if they also bundle them somehow too.
Celery is mainly water so requires a boggy type area to grow. The one you left in the water rooted better because of the water. Growing from store bought produce is called 'scrap gardening'. I have grown artisan romaine that way.
Thanks, that was a cute video with your daughter, she a cutie. I’m going to give this a try, just to see what becomes of it and I’ll try romaine lettuce as well. Hopefully if it’s planted out in the garden it would retain more moisture and become lighter in colour with less bitterness. Thanks again for sharing. 👍❤️😊
I grew my own celery for the first time last year. They were delicious and kept going for nearly a year. Sadly I had to pull them up a couple of weeks ago, as they were in a bad state. I purchased celery from the shop last week and my goodness, compared to my own grown celery, the shop one tasted absolutely foul. Now on the hunt for celery starter plants. The variety I had was called Victoria, in case you're interested, try it out if you get a chance.
a really fun video mike. you're a good dad. I've gotten so far behind I video watching. I've been gathering so much information on the virus, I read everything I could find and watch everything that I can on the virus itself and all the responses that are coming in from around the globe. I'm just getting weary of it so i'm giving myself a little break. thanks for the interlude. all I can say is to keep freedom alive for the next generation. I'll be on the public frontline. carmine p.
Mike you have the greenest thumb - unfortunately mine is turning brown....LOL. It's just cold and wet in Ohio. Great job getting your children involved in nature. That kind of education will last a lifetime! You are already homeschooling at a top level! Keep up the great work as they will share with their children someday! Well done.
I have successfully done Romain, iceberg and butter crunch this way! I just put the core with a couple of the smallest leaves right into the soil and keep watered good. They are growing wonderfully!!
Hey Mike, long time subscriber. Been following and doing my own experiments in propagation. I’ve been very successful (thanks to your help/guidance) but I’m just getting into roses. I’ve got 4 of 4 successful cutting rooting in their mini hothouse (vented) but am afraid to do anything (eg; remove the bottle cover, re-pot...). I’m sure it’s in a past video but I’ve gone back and can’t remember/find that details video...When can I take the cover off and repot the new babies and get the ready for the garden? I know there’s no hard-n-fast rules, but at what points do I make changes to each cutting to take them along in their journey to a big plant? Help.....thanks in advance, I know you’re busy. Tony V in OC, CA
Hello dear Mike, since in this episode you are giving information on vegetables, and for me you are plant doctor, I have a question, I planted green peppers and they developed brown colour In the vines of the leaves can you help with some advice? Should I just pull them out & replace them with new green pepper seedlings or do you think they can be treated till ripening the fruits they bearing
Are the whole vines and leaves turning brown? If so, it sounds like a disease or fungus and you probably need new plants. If it's just a few spots, it might be scaring from bug bites or damage.
If you do this again, you might want to put the rooted stalk bottoms into a trench in your garden and as it grows stalks, you'd fill in the trench. That's the old fashioned way to grow things like chicory and asparagus to keep them tender and as long as you keep the plants watered, I'll get it will work.
Thats awsome Mike! We have romaine lettuce and broccoli from the store growing in water like this rite now. We also grow pineapples sometimes from the store too lol. Thanks for sharing!
The thin, green leafy part of the celery is always bitter, salty, and stringy. It's the thick, juicy part down at the bottom that tastes the best and has the least amount of fiber. That's why a lot of stores cut the tops off before they sell them to people.
@@MikeKincaid79 No problem! I still love the strong flavor of celery tops (especially with peanut butter)! I wish my daughter liked celery like yours does... (My daughter's six.) Though she isn't so willing to eat celery, she does love chopping it! I think I'll show her this video tomorrow, so she can see that she might like celery when she's older!
It could work. I regrew some celery. It bolted. The seeds dropped. I got a new crop of celery from that. Now, in a small part of the yard, celery regrows itself every year. It's a novelty. I eat some of the celery, and leave some to bolt and reseed the next year's crop.
It actually made it through last winter and regrew in my garden last summer. I now realize why we buy it at the store though. What I grew was bitter and I think it's because I didn't take the necessary steps to block the stalks from sunlight. They also require a ton of water to really get big.
@@MikeKincaid79 I've heard about blocking out the sun for flavor and color. I think that commercial operations have special techniques and equipment to hold the stalks together, and block out sun. The extra flavor is good for cooking. It adds to the flavor profile in dishes. It livens up the dish in the bottom of a roasting pan.

Good morning.. Greetings and best wishes from India.. Pls explain the pot mixer.. How to get, which is the best.. Also pls explain the method of growing Rose's.. Iam very mad in growing Rose's.. Thank you..
I never cut the entire plant off. I just cut stalks of celery off as I want it. I always leave some stalks so that the plant can flower, drop seeds, and create next year's crop.
Some people mentioned covering with hay so the stalks were in the dark and this will blanch them a lighter color and they are less bitter. Haven't tried it yet.
Haha, you're the first person to mention it and I'm surprised because I thought I'd get tons of questions about it, lol. I kept getting impatient and pulling the other 2 up to check for roots and each time it would break the roots and set the plants back so eventually I just pulled them out cause I was keeping them from growing.
It's genetically identical to the store bought celery since it is the store bought celery and it came from large stems so I assure you, this stuff can grow large stems and look and taste just like the store bought. The real trick is to know how to grow it to make all that happen and I don't have the experience yet but I'll figure it out eventually.
Pretty cool Mike. Love the little time lapse. You have a new cam right? Why not set the old one up for some regular time lapsing in the hoop house or under the table where your lights are at? The trick with the celery is a cool one. My mother stuck some different types of lettuce stumps in her garden a few years back which grew like crazy. Its been spreading since then and now shes got a whole patch full of the stuff. Never has to buy lettuce anymore! By the way, im extremely eager to see how your figs cuttings are doing. Hope to see some updates on them throughout the year!
I'll definitely get some fig videos up for ya. I'd love to get more into time lapse, especially with rhododendron blooms. Need to get a better camera for it.
Carrot tops will grow too. Don't think you'd get a carrot, just a cool looking plant. Never tried rooting one. Just kept it in water until I either forgot to water it or it died.
@@MikeKincaid79 My boys, now 41, 39, and 31, thought it was pretty cool. I have an issue with keeping things like that watered. I've tried the celery too. Need try some of the others mentioned in the comments.
I wonder if we can do same way with parsley (hmm, is it same thing as celery 😅). One way to find out is to try it myself! P/s: kinda creepy how TH-cam somehow read my unconscious thought about growing my own parsley even though haven't Googling about it for long time and suddenly this video pop-up 🤣.
Hi Mike I've been doing that for years this is Phil snow or Reverend Phil snow I need your help. My bull got out and destroyed my cherry trees totally broke them all I saved the branches I gave him a good cut above where they broke and I have them in water I was wondering if you could let me know what I can do to get these cherries back because one of them was a 5-way cherry and the other one is tartarian black tartarian if you can help me I sure appreciate it thank you Reverend Phil Snow
Barbara Dumler with the ones I have grown, they seem to have a stronger flavor than the store bought ones and taste much better in soups and casseroles and such.
What I'm learning from comments here is that I need to blanch them but covering the base with mulch so they don't get sun. I think I'm going to experiment with it.
@@MikeKincaid79 it's ok I'll forgive you cause you have taught me so much on hydrangea and rose cutting propagation. About to take 100 cuttings from a super overgrown hydrangea that's going to be wacked down. Then I guess I have to give away 100 gifts to all my neighbors lol.
Mike Kincaid -It certainly wasn’t telling you what to do, and I hope you didn’t take offense. I just recently learned of you and I am binge watching All of your videos. I’ve been gardening since I was three years old with my grandparents and parents, and even my great grandparents. Unfortunately, they are no longer here to help me, and to remind me of some of the rules of gardening… That’s where you come in, Mike lol.I love the fact that you’re willing to try just about anything, and you show all of your successes, failures and foibles. You’re amazing! Thank you, from all of us that watch your videos.
This video should be called "How to Propagate Store Bought Celery" not "How to Grow..." "Growing" encompasses a lot more and i actually just wanted to know how to stop it growing so dark green and chewy and how to keep them pale and crunchy and juicy instead!
Wrap the stalks with newspaper or a similar material to protect them from the sun. This is called blanching and will turn your stalks more light or white in color, leaving them less bitter.
If I were you, I would wrap the main part of the stalk in foil, maybe, to keep it away from the sun. This way the stalk would be whiter and more tender and not so fibrous. I am glad you shared this experiment. I think I will try it too.
I've been hearing this. I think I'm going to experiment with it.

We tried it this spring also, planted it out and we now have a huge plant! I was wondering when should we harvest it? How do we know it’s ready?
I don't know, lol. I planted mine in the garden too and it's getting bigger. I'm waiting until the weather cools.
You can always cut some off and let it keep growing.
I never cut the entire plant off. I just cut stalks of celery off as I want it. I always leave some stalks so that the plant can flower, drop seeds, and create next year's crop.
Awesome!
Thanks!
it will always stay strong or a little bitter, but it works great for cooking.
Good idea, plenty of flavor for a pot of soup.
Celery and rhubarb are both forst crops IE you exclude the light so the stems become sweet and tender. 😎👍
Good tip!
Awesome experiments!!!
Thanks!
Could the bitterness be due to lack of adequate water? If lettuce is not watered enough, it too is bitter. Thanks for sharing you experiment.
Some people mentioned covering with hay so the stalks were in the dark and this will blanch them a lighter color and they are less bitter. Haven't tried it yet.
Where do you live? I’m asking because I want to know about this greenhouse of yours. What is it made of and how did you make it?
I'm in Western Washington State, zone 8b. I really need to make a video about this hoop house, as I get lots of questions about it.
😎 cool! But you’d think the early stalks wouldn’t be a tough or fibrous. I’d go for bitter over fiber.
I'm told that I have to pile up wood chips around the base to block the sun and bleach the stocks so they aren't bitter.
Mike Kincaid -Oh! _Blanching_ that makes even more sense.
You started with 3 celery in the bonsai pot, did 2 of them fail?
Haha, you're the first person to mention it and I'm surprised because I thought I'd get tons of questions about it, lol. I kept getting impatient and pulling the other 2 up to check for roots and each time it would break the roots and set the plants back so eventually I just pulled them out cause I was keeping them from growing.
I've only tried this once and it failed...
I planted my celery from the grocery store outside. Next to my onion
Sweet!
0:42 for a couple of weeks? Mine (organic) started re-growing after 5days in the water😏 Anyway, great stuff, thank u👌👍👏
I did the same thing but they immediately had flowers and I can’t figure out why. How do you keep them green?
Haha, I don't know, they just did it themselves. I've got it planted out in the garden now and it has still never had flowers.
@@MikeKincaid79 Like some fruit trees - could there be male and female?
Can you crow celery in peanut butter?
Sounds good!
can celery only be grown once from a celery bottom?
Nope, it will come back over and over again.
we planted ours last November and its growing only sideways. It wontn get big stalkss
Maybe it will this summer as the weather warms up. I think celery likes heat.
We always do that in Trinidad man
Cool! I think more people should do it here.
I love your videos; music is a LOT too loud in all of them though.
Thanks, I'll have to keep that in mind.
I'm skeptical still I think they'll both go to bolt and won't ever form large stems. I could be wrong though...you should do a follow up video.
It's genetically identical to the store bought celery since it is the store bought celery and it came from large stems so I assure you, this stuff can grow large stems and look and taste just like the store bought. The real trick is to know how to grow it to make all that happen and I don't have the experience yet but I'll figure it out eventually.
I did the same thing in my greenhouse still kind of yellow
Mine was too but after a few weeks it started greening up. I think they need more heat.
Pretty cool Mike. Love the little time lapse. You have a new cam right? Why not set the old one up for some regular time lapsing in the hoop house or under the table where your lights are at?
The trick with the celery is a cool one. My mother stuck some different types of lettuce stumps in her garden a few years back which grew like crazy. Its been spreading since then and now shes got a whole patch full of the stuff. Never has to buy lettuce anymore!
By the way, im extremely eager to see how your figs cuttings are doing. Hope to see some updates on them throughout the year!
I'll definitely get some fig videos up for ya. I'd love to get more into time lapse, especially with rhododendron blooms. Need to get a better camera for it.
Carrot tops will grow too. Don't think you'd get a carrot, just a cool looking plant. Never tried rooting one. Just kept it in water until I either forgot to water it or it died.
Sounds like a fun experiment, Brenda!
@@MikeKincaid79 My boys, now 41, 39, and 31, thought it was pretty cool. I have an issue with keeping things like that watered. I've tried the celery too. Need try some of the others mentioned in the comments.
I wonder if we can do same way with parsley (hmm, is it same thing as celery 😅). One way to find out is to try it myself!
P/s: kinda creepy how TH-cam somehow read my unconscious thought about growing my own parsley even though haven't Googling about it for long time and suddenly this video pop-up 🤣.
Google has some strange mind reading capabilities, lol
Curious, you started with 3 stumps, then showed one... what happened to the two other stumps...?
I just picked the best one and kept working with it. I think I tossed the others.
Hi Mike I've been doing that for years this is Phil snow or Reverend Phil snow I need your help. My bull got out and destroyed my cherry trees totally broke them all I saved the branches I gave him a good cut above where they broke and I have them in water I was wondering if you could let me know what I can do to get these cherries back because one of them was a 5-way cherry and the other one is tartarian black tartarian if you can help me I sure appreciate it thank you Reverend Phil Snow
Unfortunately, you may have lost the cherry tree. The best you can do now is plant the branches in the ground and see if they root. Good luck.
Yup, you have to hill up the celery to blanch it and cut down on chlorophyll
Had a few people tell me that now. I'm learning as a I go, thanks for the tip Thomas!
What does 'hill up the celery' and 'blanching' mean in this scenario?
Frumos!
Mulțumesc!
Is it possible that the reason it is bitter is maybe it's trying to go to seed???
Barbara Dumler with the ones I have grown, they seem to have a stronger flavor than the store bought ones and taste much better in soups and casseroles and such.
What I'm learning from comments here is that I need to blanch them but covering the base with mulch so they don't get sun. I think I'm going to experiment with it.
@@DB-xj1un Have you tried growing from seed? I haven't yet but I've heard that it can be difficult.
Man I love your channel, I've learned so much, but ADAMS??? There's a level of hippy that I just can't go to, Skippy guy here lol .
Hahaha, we switched cause there's no added sugar but it's a pain to stir.
@@MikeKincaid79 it's ok I'll forgive you cause you have taught me so much on hydrangea and rose cutting propagation. About to take 100 cuttings from a super overgrown hydrangea that's going to be wacked down. Then I guess I have to give away 100 gifts to all my neighbors lol.
If you want to be surprised how fast the celery grows...
Get one with BIG ROOTS. You'll see growth in a COUPLE OF DAYS... NOT WEEKS!!!
I'll keep my eyes peeled
Can you show camilla plant
I plan to in a future video.
The reason the celery tasts bitter is because you ususally blanch it while it's grwoing just as you would do with califlower.
I think I'm going to plant this one out in the garden when it warms up and see what happens.
Blanching using a opaque collar for the lower part of the plant.
@Marianne Policastro I have the same question...
Thank you for explaining blanching...I love learning!! Now I can go to bed tonight smarter than when I woke up...always a goal!!!
Off topic but when I’d the chicken coup reveal 😃
It's coming soon, just trying to coordinate with my wife and being off work.
Mike Kincaid sorry but just excited 😂
Celery Bonsai hmm, they say you can make bonsai from almost anything. 👍
LOL, I thought it looked pretty cool.
I thought that you had to read celery in newspaper to Blanchett so that it wasn’t better and tough…?!?
I'm learning as I go with this celery. I'll probably try several things as the season progresses.
Mike Kincaid -It certainly wasn’t telling you what to do, and I hope you didn’t take offense. I just recently learned of you and I am binge watching All of your videos. I’ve been gardening since I was three years old with my grandparents and parents, and even my great grandparents. Unfortunately, they are no longer here to help me, and to remind me of some of the rules of gardening… That’s where you come in, Mike lol.I love the fact that you’re willing to try just about anything, and you show all of your successes, failures and foibles. You’re amazing! Thank you, from all of us that watch your videos.
This video should be called "How to Propagate Store Bought Celery" not "How to Grow..."
"Growing" encompasses a lot more and i actually just wanted to know how to stop it growing so dark green and chewy and how to keep them pale and crunchy and juicy instead!
Wrap the stalks with newspaper or a similar material to protect them from the sun. This is called blanching and will turn your stalks more light or white in color, leaving them less bitter.
Wow! In these future harder times we will have to use waste food. Can you show us which others we can experiment with?
I plan to do more experiments in future videos!
I think you should grow pink and red celery for your girls! Rareseeds.com caries seeds!
Thanks, I'll have to check it out!
@@MikeKincaid79 You are welcome.
Her
Old video, you may not be around to answer, overall good video.
Thanks Jake
I tried it, and it started rotting in water, and it smelled bad so I threw it our
Out
Good idea, lol
My mother told me not to eat off of a knife... I did one at one dinner and cut the side of my mouth. 😢
Good thing I didn't cut my mouth
@@MikeKincaid79 👍
and there's the difference between Moms and Dads..... most Moms would not feed their kids with a knife LOL
Lol, it’s best to prepare them for the dangers in life early on.
