Leafy celery best varieties

Celery is very healthy, so gardeners are increasingly planting it in their backyards along with other herbs. Leaves, stems or roots are eaten, depending on the species. It is not difficult to grow it, given some recommendations for the care of the crop.

Celery varieties and common varieties

Celery is classified based on what part of the plant is eaten. But this does not affect the benefits in any way. Accordingly, the gardener chooses a specific variety, focusing on his own preferences. Any celery is high in potassium, calcium and magnesium, essential oils, essential amino acids, vitamins B and C. It helps to normalize blood pressure and water-salt metabolism, cleanse the body of toxins and toxins. If you eat it regularly, the tone of the skin, the condition of nails and hair improves, the susceptibility to factors causing stress decreases, and causeless anxiety and anxiety disappear. It is also an effective prevention of bone and joint problems. But, despite all the possible benefits, celery is not recommended for use in kidney disease, especially in the presence of urolithiasis. Potassium provokes fluid retention in the body and can disturb stones, which most often results in hospitalization. Another contraindication is the threat of miscarriage during pregnancy.

The health benefits of celery are scientifically proven

Leafy celery

Planting celery

In most regions of Russia, celery is grown exclusively by seedlings. This is due to the presence of a long growing season. Therefore, it is recommended to plant seeds early, in late February or early March.

Germinating seeds

Celery seeds are easy to obtain at any specialty store. They do not differ in high germination, so it is advisable to stock up on planting material in excess. This is due to the high content of essential oils, which makes the seeds swell poorly. After a year or two, germination still falls, so you definitely need to pay attention to the expiration date.

Celery seeds cannot boast of high germination, therefore pre-planting preparation is required

Preliminary preparation is required. For disinfection, seeds are soaked for 2-3 hours in a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate. Then they are wrapped in damp gauze or paper napkin, placed on a saucer and placed on a radiator for 2-3 days so that the seeds hatch. To increase germination, you can add a few drops of any root stimulant or aloe juice to the water. Some gardeners recommend what is called shock therapy. The seeds are placed in a linen bag, which is immersed for 20 minutes, first in hot (40–45 ° C), then in cold (20–22 ° C) water.

The disembarkation procedure itself looks like this:

1. Small flat containers are filled with sterilized soil. It is prepared by mixing coarse sand, humus, peat chips and a universal seedling substrate in approximately equal proportions. For disinfection, the soil is treated with steam, calcined in the oven or frozen in the freezer. The surface of the substrate is moistened by spraying from a spray bottle.

   It is advisable to mix the soil for growing celery seedlings yourself

2. Seeds are sown as evenly as possible, sprinkling on top with a thin layer of sand or peat. The containers are covered with glass or foil to create a greenhouse effect. The soil is constantly kept in a slightly damp state.
3. Until the emergence of shoots, the containers are kept in a dark place, the temperature is maintained at 18–20 ° C. The first shoots will have to wait long enough, 15–20 days. This is normal for celery. As soon as they hatch, the containers are transferred to the light, the temperature of the content is lowered to 15-17 ° C during the day and 10-12 ° C at night. Temperature conditions are especially important for root celery. Otherwise, the plants may form peduncles in the future. You can, for example, put them on the sill of a south-facing window and open the window at night. The critical minimum is 8 ° C. The required length of daylight hours is at least 10 hours. Therefore, additional lighting will be needed using conventional fluorescent or special phytolamps.

   Celery shoots will have to wait long enough

4. When two true leaves are formed (this takes about a month and a half), the seedlings dive using the same substrate. You can add a little sifted wood ash (25-30 g per liter of ready-mix). In the process of transplanting into individual pots in leaf and petiole celery, pinch the taproot, stimulating the development of the root system. Seedlings are watered sparingly, each time after that they gently loosen the soil. Two weeks after the pick and after another 8–12 days, they are fed using the preparations Solution, Gumi, Ideal. The rate per plant is 2-3 tablespoons.

   It is advisable to plant celery in peat pots when diving.

Within a month and a half, the seedlings grow extremely slowly, with a lack of light, they immediately stretch out, which is very undesirable. Plants that have reached a height of 20–25 cm and have 4–5 leaves are ready for planting in open ground. This usually happens in mid-May. Celery can be planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse in the last decade of April. Previously, in 2-3 weeks, they need to start hardening, gradually accustoming them to new living conditions. For this, the containers are taken out into the street, gradually extending the time spent in the fresh air.

Landing and preparation for it

Celery prefers fertile yet light soil with good aeration. The bed is located where the plants are guaranteed to receive enough heat and sunlight. Good precursors for celery are any Legumes, cucumbers, cabbage, onions, garlic. It is undesirable to plant it after potatoes (and other Solanaceae), carrots, and other spicy herbs (especially parsley, coriander, dill). They extract the same nutrients from the soil, suffer from the same pests.

Celery is a heat-loving plant, so it is planted in an open place.

In the fall, the bed is dug deeply, all plant debris is removed. In the spring, about a month before planting, they loosen well, at the same time applying fertilizers - humus or rotted compost (5–7 kg / m²), simple superphosphate (25–30 g / m²), potassium sulfate (15–20 g / m²). Mineral fertilizers can be replaced with sifted wood ash (0.5 l / m²). If the acid-base balance of the soil differs from the neutral one (pH 6.0–7.0), dolomite flour must be additionally added to the acidic substrate and coniferous needles in the alkaline one.

Even a novice gardener can handle planting celery in the ground

Between the holes 8-10 cm deep when planting, leave at least 40 cm for root celery and 15-20 cm for other varieties, between the rows - 45-50 cm. A handful of humus and a tablespoon of sifted wood ash are added to each. In root celery, the growth point is left at the level of the soil, in other varieties, it is deepened by 2-3 cm. The soil around the seedlings is carefully compacted, watered moderately. When the moisture is absorbed, the bed is mulched with humus or peat chips. If there is a strong heat, the bottom two leaves are cut to a quarter.

The garden bed on which the celery is planted must be mulched after watering

Plants are covered with cut plastic bottles for 2-3 weeks. To protect them from direct sunlight, a canopy made of any white covering material is placed above them.

When planting celery seeds in open ground, pre-planting preparation is also required. Then they are well dried, mixed with sand or sawdust and, if possible, evenly sown in the ground. When shoots appear, they are thinned, cutting off weak seedlings with scissors.

Stalk celery

Celery can be grown not only in the garden, but also at home, using a stump from an outlet purchased in a store as a planting material. The main thing is that it is fresh, not dry, without the slightest signs of rotting.

Before planting, the celery stump is inspected for characteristic damage.

1. Cut off the petioles from the rosette, leaving only the lower part 3–5 cm long. Immerse its base in a container with clean water at room temperature. It should cover the lower 0.5–0.7 cm of the stalk.
2. The container is placed in a bright, warm place, but not in direct sunlight. The water is changed every day. The places where the petioles are cut will dry out, this is normal.
3. The roots should appear in 5-7 days. After another week, new leaves will begin to grow. As soon as this happens, and the roots reach a length of 1 cm, the stump is planted in a small flower pot filled with a mixture of universal flower soil with perlite or vermiculite (3: 1). A prerequisite is the presence of a drainage layer 3-4 cm thick. Old petioles must be completely buried in the ground.
4. Further, the plant needs only warmth, light and moderate watering.For the first time, the leaves can be cut 2-3 weeks after transplanting. For a more intensive formation of the green mass, celery can be watered with a solution of any nitrogen-containing fertilizer (2-3 g / l). In winter, the plant is illuminated by placing phytolamps about 1 m above it.

Celery stalk gives roots and new greens in 40-50% of cases

Important nuances of crop care

Any celery is very hygrophilous, so the soil in the garden must be mulched. This will help trap moisture in the soil and save time on weeding. In the heat, the plants are watered daily, consuming 20-25 liters of water per 1 m²; in cool weather, the intervals between procedures are increased to 3-5 days. Until the foliage in the garden has closed into a solid carpet, every time after watering it is loosened. Petiole celery responds especially positively to loosening.

Plants are watered throughout the growing season, until October. Water is used heated up to 22–25 ° C. They pour it under the root, trying to get on the leaves as little as possible, so as not to provoke the development of rot.

Celery is very hygrophilous, so watering is a vital procedure for it.

Also, celery, especially root, needs regular feeding. Fertilizers are applied three times per season. Celery needs nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The first contributes to the intensive growth of green mass, the second - the formation and ripening of tubers, the third has a positive effect on frost resistance, helps to accumulate sugar and starch in root crops.

• A week after planting in the ground, the plants are watered with an infusion of fresh manure or chicken droppings diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10 or 1:15, respectively. You can also use any nitrogen fertilizer (10–15 g per 10 L of water). The norm is about 0.5 liters per plant.
• After another 14-18 days, celery is watered with infusion of nettle or dandelion leaves. Although, in principle, you can use any weeds growing on the site. Alternative - any complex fertilizers (Azofoska, Diammofoska, Nitrofoska).
• In mid-August, add simple superphosphate and potassium sulfate (15–20 g each). Fertilizers are distributed dry over the garden or a solution is prepared. Root celery is additionally watered with a solution of boric acid or potassium magnesium in early September.

Urea, like other nitrogen-containing fertilizers, helps celery to build up green mass, but you should not get carried away with it, its excess weakens the plant's immunity

About a month before ripening, petiole celery is spud high to whiten the petioles, get rid of the bitter taste and increase the concentration of essential oils. At the root, at the same time, the leaves are broken, pressing them to the ground, and the lateral roots are cut off from the upper part of the tuber. It must be carefully excavated, then backfilled with soil. Thanks to this, a large root crop of the correct shape will be formed. Hilling and cutting off all leaves is categorically contraindicated for root celery.

The crop must be removed before the first frost. To make it easier to remove the tubers from the soil, they are watered abundantly about half an hour before the procedure. Their skin is quite thin and delicate, try to avoid mechanical damage as much as possible.

Celery tubers are dug out of the soil so that they do not receive even the slightest mechanical damage

A few bushes of leaf celery can be moved into the house for the winter by digging them up with an earthen clod and transplanting them into flower pots. And in warm southern regions, it generally hibernates successfully in the open field, if you cover the bed with a layer of mulch 5–10 cm thick.

In winter, celery, like other greens, can be grown at home.

Diseases, pests and control of them

Celery is often attacked by pathogenic fungi and pests.Often the cause is errors in care, first of all, excessive thickening of the plantings, too abundant watering, irregular weeding, too frequent fertilization or exceeding the recommended dose.

Diseases typical for culture:

• Rust. The underside of leaves, petioles, the lower part of the stem is covered with small "fleecy" spots of bright saffron color. Gradually they grow and "thicken", changing color to copper or rusty. The affected parts of the plant turn yellow and dry. For the prevention of celery, they are sprayed with a solution of Fitosporin-M, Baktofit about once a month. Having found the first symptoms, any fungicides are used - Topaz, HOM, Horus, Kuprozan. At an early stage of the development of the disease, 2-3 treatments are sufficient with an interval of 5-7 days. All chemicals are discontinued 20–25 days before harvest.
• Septoria (white spot). Most often it develops towards the end of summer. Leaves and petioles are covered with small rounded "depressed" spots. On the leaves they are yellowish, on the stems they are dark brown. At the first sign, Topsin-M or Fundazol is used. Processing is carried out twice with an interval of 10-12 days.
• Cercosporosis. The spread of the pathogenic fungus is facilitated by sudden changes in temperature, damp and cold weather. The leaves are covered with numerous rounded light gray spots with a darker border. Gradually, they are tightened with an ink-purple bloom. For treatment, the same drugs are used as for the fight against septoria.
• Downy mildew (downy mildew). A whitish bloom appears on the leaves and stems, similar to scattered flour. Gradually, it thickens, turning into something similar to felt. For prophylaxis, the plants are powdered with colloidal sulfur about once a month, and every week they are sprayed with infusion of soda ash, horsetail or sow thistle. Sick celery is treated with a 2% solution of Bordeaux liquid, Oxyhom, Ridomil-Gold. Usually 2-3 procedures are sufficient with an interval of 8-10 days.
• Cucumber mosaic. Light green or yellowish patches appear on the leaves. They can be in the form of spots, stripes or rings. There are currently no cures for the virus. Affected plants are removed from the garden and burned. The soil is disinfected by spilling it with a 2% solution of copper sulfate or bright pink - potassium permanganate. The virus is spread by spider mites and aphids, so special attention should be paid to combating them.
• White rot. A white bloom similar to cotton wool appears on celery, with small black blotches. Then the bases of the leaves and the top of the tuber soften, acquiring a dark brown hue. They are slimy to the touch, an unpleasant putrid smell appears. Excess nitrogen in the soil contributes to the development of the disease. For the prevention of celery, they are powdered weekly with crushed chalk, sifted with wood ash. Having found a disease, they cut off all even minimally affected parts of the plant. Then it is sprayed three times with an interval of 5–8 days with a solution of any fungicide (Topaz, Abiga-Peak, Skor). Water for irrigation for 2-3 weeks can be replaced with a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate.

Of the pests for celery, the following are the most dangerous:

• Celery fly. Adults lay eggs in leaf tissue. The emerging larvae eat out the petioles from the inside, leaving longitudinal passages in them. The pulp acquires a bitter taste, the yield decreases sharply. To scare off adults, the celery garden is surrounded by plantings of onions or garlic. Once every 2-3 weeks, the plants are sprayed with infusion from their arrows or gruel.
• Carrot fly. Lays eggs in soil. The larvae gnaw through the roots of celery, eat out tubers and petioles from the inside, and damage the leaves. To scare them away, sprinkle the bed every 7-10 days with a mixture of fine sand, mustard powder and tobacco dust.
• Carrot beetle. Winters on coniferous trees.In the middle of summer, it flies to celery, feeds on plant sap. The affected leaves are deformed, the petioles are shortened, bent. Control measures are the same as for carrot fly.
• Bean aphid. Black insects clinging to the underside of leaves, petioles and stems. They feed on plant sap, the affected parts discolor, deform and dry out. In addition, aphids are a carrier of many dangerous fungi, bacteria, viruses. It is effectively scared off by any infusions with a pungent odor. They are prepared using onion or garlic arrows, lemon peel, wormwood, tomato tops, hot peppers and so on as raw materials. For prevention, celery is sprayed once a week, for aphid control - 3-4 times a day. If folk remedies do not help, insecticides are used - Inta-Vir, Aktellik, Admiral, Mospilan, Iskra-Bio.

The variety is valued for its high sugar content in root crops, rich aroma and high marketability.The technical ripeness of root crops occurs in 150 days from the moment of emergence.

To prevent the spread of bacterial spotting, heart rot, white stem rot, viral mosaic, black leg and celery stalk base rot in the garden and in plants, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the basic norms of plant cultivation. Among them, only timely watering, the exclusion of waterlogging of the soil, thickening of the planting, as well as the spread of weeds in the bed. Common celery pests can also be carriers of diseases: scoops, carrot fly larvae, various snails and slugs, which should be disposed of in time by prevention and spraying.

Grooming is practically the same as caring for leafy celery, which means loosen the soil and systematically water the plants, arrange mulch in the celery garden and remove weeds that may appear near the planting.

Leaf celery is considered a fairly cold-resistant plant that can tolerate frost or even winter in adult form without loss. At the very beginning of its development, celery grows poorly, and this is very noticeable. This is due to small seeds and their not very good germination, and therefore, experienced summer residents prefer growing leaf celery with seedlings.

Cultivation of stalked celery is practiced by summer residents, as well as large trading enterprises that work with fresh herbs to get juicy plant stalks for preparing a variety of dishes and even alcoholic cocktails.

If you raise the issue of growing celery in different regions, for example, growing celery in the Moscow region or Siberia, then you can come to only one opinion - the correct agricultural technology will allow you to get a good harvest almost everywhere. Naturally, some climatic conditions are not entirely suitable for growing this crop, but then you can grow celery at home - prepare seeds, grow seedlings, apply a transplant, provide care and get the desired harvest.

Harvesting root celery requires some preparation. 15-20 days before the start of harvesting, it is necessary to break off the lateral leaves of the plant, and even more to shake off the soil from the top of the fruit. Further, upon the expiration of the required period, by about the middle of October, you can begin to harvest the celery root.

When the seeds are prepared, they can be sown in a special soil mixture. The best for this is a mixture of sand, leafy earth, humus and peat, in a ratio of 1: 1: 1: 1. Sowing is carried out in early March, in ready-made wooden boxes with the specified soil mixture. Seeds should be sown shallowly, covered with peat powder. Further, for almost a week, while the seeds do not germinate, you will need to maintain a stable ambient temperature within + 17 + 20 ° С. After the seeds sprout, the temperature should be lowered to + 15 ° C. Growing seedlings of leaf celery requires a clearly normalized daylight hours, a certain temperature regime and accurate, timely watering (preferably through a sieve), only in this case the seedlings will be strong and suitable for transfer to open ground. If you make mistakes, the greens can just grow. At the moment when a young plant gives two true leaves, it should be dived with a pinch of the main root, which will contribute to the confident development of the root system of celery seedlings. Transfer to open ground occurs in April or early May, the planting pattern for leaf celery is 25-25 cm.

The seeds must be planted now (I planted 10 days later), before planting, the seeds must be soaked for a day (I soaked in epine), then the seeds must be dried. I buy ready-made soil (I take a magician, that is, ordinary turf soil, with the addition of sand, a little peat, humus, etc.) I pour the moistened soil into the planting container, moderately compact (without tamping) and on the surface in y to l and y in a yu seeds, without deepening them. Then I put the container in a transparent plastic bag and put it in the coldest bright place. watering regularly from a sprayer and not INTO the ground, but ABOVE the ground. As soon as the celery sprouts, I gradually begin to accustom it to the air - removing the film from the container, first for half an hour a day, then more and more. if you remove the film immediately, then the celery will simply dry out (you will be surprised when it sprouts - tiny, tiny tails). after the appearance of the third true leaf - a pick. planting in the ground - in the second half of May, I leave the node of leaves at the rhizome and the uppermost part of the rhizome OVER the surface of the earth. celery tolerates picking and replanting quite well. care - regular watering and loosening. from the end of June to the beginning of July, I regularly start to scrape off the soil from the rhizomes and cut off the "beard" (small roots), sprinkle the soil after pruning so that part of the root "sticks out" from the ground, every time it gets stronger. cleaning - according to the weather. good luck!

Initially, growing stalked celery from seeds to seedlings is no different from growing leaf celery, but then, already when planting seedlings in open ground, there are some peculiarities.

Root celery care

Celery growers argue that the plant must not be planted very deeply in the soil so that the growing point is on the surface. After planting, the very caring for the celery is very simple and does not steal a lot of time.

At the moment, there are enough separate varieties of celery, but the following are in greatest demand:

The growing season lasts an average of 160 days. The variety has erect leaves and long petioles.

Root celery has a long growing season, therefore, for a root crop to be 400-500 grams, it takes 150-180 days for its development! So, in your conditions, seedlings, planting on February 10-15 (or calculate yourself, taking into account the weather in autumn) Sow seeds for seedlings dry. moderate watering, in the presence of 2 true pick leaves! It is very convenient for me to dive into plastic cups 200 g, it is convenient to plant it later: the seedlings are easy to get and not damaged! After 15 days, fertilizing is 1 tsp of nitroammofoska for 3 liters of water! Planting seedlings in mid-May! Planting scheme - 15 cm between plants, 20 cm between rows, So that the roots are smooth, without lateral roots, in mid-July, they slightly rake off the soil from the root crops and cut the lateral roots with small scissors! After 15 minutes, when the slices are dry, the celery is spud, but not watered! Watering can only be done after 2 days! Sometimes this procedure is repeated 2-3 times!

The seedlings are transferred into the ground, into grooves that exceed the planting depth of leaf celery, their depth is about 10 cm.The apical bud is also not covered with soil, but after the beginning of intensive growth, when the celery stalks begin to thicken significantly, hilling is carried out. Throughout the growing season, even several hilling is possible.First of all, make sure that weeds are removed between the rows of planted plants in a timely manner, as well as systematic watering. So that a crust does not form and stagnate on the surface of the soil, which does not benefit the celery, it is constantly loosened, preferably after each watering. But, in order to reduce time costs, you can mulch the soil, which will enable it to retain the amount of moisture necessary for the growth and development of celery, exclude the lush vegetation of weeds inside the celery garden, as well as the formation of a crust. Adhering to the correct technology for growing celery, you can harvest in mid-July - early August.
