This is a great video, packed full of knowledge and information and I appreciate it. I always learn something. I gave up on celery but I do grow Lovage, very versatile and maybe after watching this, I'll sow some celery too! Thank You
Thank you! I have gorgeous Tango celery plants in 5” pots 😂 First time growing, started from seed. People said they were slow to grow…not for me. I’ve kept them watered well. Even though I messed up starting them too soon we’re finally past our frosts (fingers crossed) I’ll continue on and see what they do. As any true gardener, we learn, adjust and look forward to trying again.
Maybe they meant that they are slow to germinate which is true, try giving them some shade as they are a big plant do plenty of water and a little shade and you'll have wonderful celery! Thank you for watching and have a blessed day!
Great video as are all of them. So thankful for you both sharing all your garden knowledge & wisdom gained over the years. Hoping you’ll incorporate a video or two later in the season with a full garden tour showing us how all of the transplanted starts are doing. I can only imagine how healthy and robust everything must be. I’m a long time, retired home gardener and am converting to your no till approach as well as organic amendments and seed starting techniques. Thx so much. ADK gentleman farmer 😊.
😋yummy. You can cut and come again on celery. Definitely an option to extend your harvest although I don't think it will be necessary with that many plants
I interplanted my celery last year with zucchini to give them shade. My corn gave them shade until mid July, then the zucchini grew up for shade. I don’t plant zucchini until early July to prevent squash bugs from invading ( they have moved on elsewhere by then since they haven’t found what they wanted early in the season.) I cut my celery off 2” from the base in July, then by September I had another crop regrow for a 2nd harvest.
Wonderful! We already have our shipment of VAM, but just waiting to get the business liability & cyber insurance policy details worked out before we open our website for orders! Blessings!
Thank you! I grew celery for the first time last year. Did well even with not knowing what I was doing. Just threw a few plants in to try. The scent and flavor, who knew!!! Obviously not me….. will have to invest in a dehydrator as I didn’t know what to do with it all other than share.
We freeze the celery and is very handy as it's already chopped and ready to add to whatever dish your making! Thanks for watching and have a blessed day!
Thanks for the info. We really enjoy your channel,so happy to have found you. We also follow quite a few of your practices. With one big exception,we’re in western WA😊 we adapt to our wetter cooler evening temps. Thanks for sharing,always looking for tips,and you’ve got em 🙂
You just answered two question in one minute Which amendment to use for cabbage etc and how to use and how often apply. Thank you so much One question what is feather meal is than 🐓
Feather meal is a byproduct of processing poultry; it is made from poultry feathers by partially grinding them under elevated heat and pressure, and then grinding and drying. Although total nitrogen levels are fairly high (up to 12%), the bioavailability of this nitrogen may be low(it's a slow release source of nitrogen). Feather meal is used in formulated animal feed and in organic fertilizer. Worldwide, approximately 50 billion chickens were used for human consumption in 2014.[1] Feather meal is made through a process called rendering. Steam pressure cookers with temperatures over 140 °C (284 °F) are used to "cook" and sterilize the feathers. This partially hydrolyzes the proteins, which denatures them. It is then dried, cooled and ground into a powder for use as a nitrogen source for animal feed (mostly ruminants) or as an organic soil amendment. Containing up to 12% nitrogen, it is a source of slow-release, organic, high-nitrogen fertilizer for organic gardens. It is not water-soluble and does not make a good liquid fertilizer. It can be used to: Increase green leaf growth Activate compost decomposition Improve soil structure When adding it to a garden as a nitrogen source, it must be blended into the soil to start the decomposition to make the nitrogenous compounds available to the plants. As an organic garden fertilizer, it is not synthetic or petroleum-based.
We are in an area considered high-desert climate. SE Washington state. Zone 7a-b. We have sometimes 100+F temps for a week or two before a temp dip into the 90's, but mostly 90-100F during summer. Yes, it should work well for you. Make sure that you have your celery partially shaded, preferably from the afternoon sun - perhaps by some rows of corn planted next to it. Or, better yet, you can make a hoop row cover like we show in one of our videos, and that will work well to partially shade and protect.
That's why there's a few seeds in each cell,I don't spend a lot of time trying to singulate one seed per cell, so that's the reason for up potting them into individual cells plus that ensures a full flat without empty cells because of germination issues.
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thank you for the answer. I could only get my hands on 25 seeds so I'm stuck on 1 per cell. Next year I'll go to better seed supplier. God Bless brothers.
God’s FARMacy, provides everything you need.
We put celery in everything too, even curries, it’s lovely.
Fantastic video. Annie
Excellent video as always. I have come addicted to your videos. I am from Galicia 🇪🇸 Spain. Many thanks for your time
The color on the celery is amazing. Very nice work. We need a seedling care video. Thanks for all yall do. ❤
Thank you for your time Gentlemen.
U have all my respect very wise
As always an enjoyable video! Thank you!!☺️

Very helpful. I’ll definitely try to sew some celery next season… now that I know what to do. Thank you. Blessings!
You can do it! Blessings to you too!
Thank you!

I hope you do a video on bell peppers. I never have much success trying to grow them. I really learn a lot from your channel. God’s blessings!
Actually I think peppers are going to be the next video, as soon as Luke gets it edited it'll be posted.
Yes, I'm working on it! 😊(Luke)

Thanks for such a nice comment! Hopefully we can help you get more and better produce from your garden!
Have a good night and God bless you!

Love watching your videos! Thank you so much . God bless!
Glad you like them! God bless you as well!
Thank you so much my brothers! 💓
You're welcome! God bless you!
How do you fertilize your seedlings in the pony pack? Do you add fertilizer to the soil or use a liquid fertilizer?
I interplanted my celery last year with zucchini to give them shade. My corn gave them shade until mid July, then the zucchini grew up for shade. I don’t plant zucchini until early July to prevent squash bugs from invading ( they have moved on elsewhere by then since they haven’t found what they wanted early in the season.)

Great comment! Thanks for contributing! 👍
I really appreciate learning from your videos. My kelp arrived today and I have tge Vam in my Amazon cart. Thank you
Wonderful! We already have our shipment of VAM, but just waiting to get the business liability & cyber insurance policy details worked out before we open our website for orders! Blessings!
Thx gentleman!
Have you had a chance to work with the BioAg tm7? What’s your thoughts on it?
Looks good
Very nice and helpful. Will you need to add any additional minerals or fertilizers later in the season?
Not usually! Have a blessed day!
What size row is the fertilizer recipe for (the one you posted during the video)? Also, what is dairy and wood-based compost?
That row is about 30 feet. Compost is dairy manure from an organic dairy which us composted with wood chip/sawdust.
Thank you! I grew celery for the first time last year. Did well even with not knowing what I was doing. Just threw a few plants in to try. The scent and flavor, who knew!!! Obviously not me….. will have to invest in a dehydrator as I didn’t know what to do with it all other than share.

@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thank you, good to know. Will plant again👍
could you guys tell us specifically where and what you purchased for your drip system---thanks
We'll try to do a more in depth drip video that will cover everything that I use and do! Until then, blessings to you!
Thank you!😇🙏
You are so welcome. God bless you!

You just answered two question in one minute

One question what is feather meal is than 🐓
It's feathers that have been somehow processed into a nitrogen source amendment.

Your channel is awesome.
Thanks for the kind words! Blessings!
Love your style of growing organically, just subscribed. Do you have anything on watermelons. Thanks and god bless…
I don't yet but probably in the future we will,blessings to you!
Good channel 👍🏼
Thanks! God bless!
Are you in Canada? I have clay soil in hot central Texas. Can this work for me? Thanks.

Wow, You 2are cool beans
How will you use all this celery?
My celery was very though and stringy last year. I think I water well them. I hope it will be better this year
Thanks
You might try giving it some shade if possible, blessings!
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork that might help, because it was in sunny location
They also need a good amount of nitrogen along with active and healthy biology, plus plenty of water.
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thank You!
If you are able to sell to Canada i will gladly shop at your store!
We are looking into the details to be able to sell to Canada. God bless! :-)
Hate to sound ignorant, but what do you mean by dairy compost? And wood? Wood chips? Sawdust?
Dairy compost is basically manure from an organic dairy farm that has been composted using wood chips.
Blanch for 20 seconds enough, ? Is that to cleanse it?
How do you deal with the small seeds.? Give me a magnifying glass.
That's why there's a few seeds in each cell,I don't spend a lot of time trying to singulate one seed per cell, so that's the reason for up potting them into individual cells plus that ensures a full flat without empty cells because of germination issues.
@@GardeningHomesteadingWoodwork thank you for the answer. I could only get my hands on 25 seeds so I'm stuck on 1 per cell. Next year I'll go to better seed supplier. God Bless brothers.
