The best varieties of stalked celery

The choice of herbs on the table is a matter of taste. One thing can be said for sure: many people prefer not only parsley, dill and cilantro, but also stalked celery. Caring for him does not differ from caring for other plants in the garden, but the technology of growing in open ground from seeds has some peculiarities. Therefore, to get an excellent harvest, it is worth getting to know the best varieties - and as a result, get the stalks as in the photo in agricultural magazines!

Briefly about the important, or the absolute benefits of stalked celery

Delicate and languid, slightly sweet, spicy and aromatic, in some varieties a little pungent - this is the taste of celery for those who first tried it. But what is true acquaintance with such a valuable plant? This is not only green twigs similar to parsley and cilantro in salads, pies and stews, not only tubers baked in sour cream with your favorite sauce or pickled root vegetable for meat, but also its middle part, petioles. They are like a bleached false stalk of leeks - delicious and as healthy as possible! Therefore, if you have not tried stalked celery yet, it's time to start.

Celery stalks (as well as leaves and roots) can relieve everyone of:

• extra kg. This is possible due to the high content of dietary fiber, which is not absorbed by the body, but helps to establish the work of the gastrointestinal tract, liver and kidneys, normalize metabolism, strengthen immunity;
• frequent colds, with which a whole vitamin complex will help in the fight - vitamins of groups C, A, E, B;
• ailments of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, since it contains the necessary micro-, macro-elements.

Petiole celery is indispensable in dietary nutrition

In short, there is an obvious benefit of celery in any of its variations. Therefore, attention is paid to the peculiarities of sowing in open ground, competent cultivation to technical ripeness and care!

Attention! Celery is not a panacea for disease! Drinking juices and salads with it should be careful for those who have an ulcer, colitis, kidney stones or gall bladder. The best option is to consult a therapist.

Sowing crops in open ground: stages

Petiole celery gives excellent yields on nutrient soils, in slightly darkened (under the tree) places. He tolerates open sunny areas well, but excessive sun can affect the height of the petiole stem and taste (for example, juiciness). He is not afraid of frost on the ground, so sowing of late varieties can be started already at the end of March in order to collect an excellent harvest by the end of summer and beginning of autumn. The optimum temperature for growing in the open field is + 20C, but it easily transfers "deviations" from performance indicators in one direction or another.

An important feature is soil preparation before sowing seeds in open ground. In depleted areas, the petioles will not be dense and uniform, they will lose their juiciness and aroma characteristic of celery. But every soil can be prepared for sowing. The best time for this is autumn, the period of the first frost. But if you did not know in the fall that you will grow stalked celery in the spring, it doesn’t matter. You can do this in the spring as soon as the ground warms up and you can dig up the desired area.

Celery needs nutritious soil

So, the stages of soil preparation for sowing. Necessary:

1. Select a site with specific requirements.
2. Dig furrows (width - 30-40 cm, depth - 25 cm, on a shovel bayonet). A good solution is 2 furrows side by side - passage - 2 furrows side by side and so on. This arrangement will make it easy to care for the celery and just harvest.
3. Fill the furrows with compost, or add peat + sand + humus (1: 1: 0.5), or add superphosphate, mix, cover with earth.
4. Before sowing seeds, it is necessary to loosen the soil, get rid of weeds, walk with a rake, and moisten.
5. Sow the seeds in the furrows evenly, in one line. The easiest way to do this is by mixing the seeds with sand to distribute them more evenly and see the planting line and density.
6. Sprinkle the seeds with earth, tamp a little.
7. Water, cover with spunbond or plastic wrap to create an optimal humidity microclimate.

After that, it is worth watching the shoots that appear on the 5-10th day. The film can be removed to harden the plants, the sprouts under the spunbond can be looked after through the canvas. At the stage of 2-3 natural celery leaves, it is worth thinning out, leaving a distance of 15-20 cm between the plants. Thinned plants can be dived.

When an adult plant reaches a height of 25-30 cm, the rosette of leaves should be tied in order to get even and dense petioles. This is not required for self-bleaching varieties.

Care and features of growing celery stalks, or on the way to large yields

We can say that celery is a culture that is undemanding to grow. Even if you devote a minimum amount of time to grooming, celery will give petioles. Only now their height, taste and aroma will be poor. Therefore, a little concern - and everyone will have the opportunity to get a good result!

Growing stalked celery

In caring for stalked celery, it is important:

• watering. The plant does not tolerate drought well, so it is worth watering moderately and regularly. Stagnation of water in the garden is not allowed, however, it is better that the root is moistened almost all the time. The upper winding of the soil up to 7 cm is allowed;
• feeding with nitrogen fertilizers up to 4 times per season. In this regard, celery is "gluttonous", responds well to feeding and pleases with the result;
• loosening the soil and removing weeds.

Attention! Growing stalked celery requires hilling! This is necessary so that the petioles are bleached (you can use the old-fashioned method - wrap with paper) and have the maximum height.

The average ripening period for stalked celery is 120-150 days. At the end of the formation of the plant, it can be periodically dug up and eaten. For the winter, the plants need to be dug up together with the root, the root must be slightly peeled, laid horizontally in heating, used as needed.

Root varieties have too long growing seasons

You may be wondering: why not plant a root celery in order to immediately get both green foliage and root crops from it? The catch is that root varieties have too long a growing season - you will have to wait a long time for greenery. Even medium early celery Diamant or Apple celery ripen for at least 150 days. In addition, only lateral leaves are allowed to be cut off from root celery, otherwise the root crop will not ripen and remain small. That is why it is better to grow leafy celery varieties on greens, which quickly form a lush rosette with odorous leaves, and to plant petiolate celery to obtain elastic, fleshy stems.

Among them are 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.First of all, watch out for the timely cleaning of weeds between the rows of planted plants, as well as for 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.

Cultivation of stalked celery

I am constantly picking off the lower leaves that are on the ground. Root crops have been on the surface for a long time, clean without roots.

Thank you! Very nice article! Three years ago I tried to grow celery. The seedlings turned out to be good - strong, dark green. But with the landing in the ground, I was greedy - I planted it too close to each other. The result is roots like a medium-sized apple. This year I will plant less often. And remove the lateral roots as they grow.

Caring for root celery should also include several specific techniques. So, in order to get the highest quality root crop, in the middle of summer it is necessary to free its upper part from the ground, cutting off the side roots. Thanks to this simple agronomic technique, the plant will form the largest root crop in the fall. To enhance the growth of root celery, it is necessary to press its leaves to the ground, the petioles crack during this procedure, but this only benefits the plant and does not in the least harm the growth of the root crop.

Celery is a biennial vegetable plant that, in the first year of cultivation, forms a rosette of glossy dark green leaves, sometimes fleshy cuttings, and, depending on the variety, a root vegetable or root.

Delicate -

Petiolate celery also does not form root crops, but is prized for its fleshy petioles. In the countries of the former USSR, this variety is grown extremely rarely.Cultivation of root celery from seeds is almost impossible, or at least not particularly interesting, and therefore, using the cultivation of root celery from seedlings, you must be very careful and careful.to get decent results of your work.

I grew up, I'll post a photo after harvesting.

It is better, of course, not to be greedy, although I myself am guilty of it. It's a pity the garden is not dimensionless, but I want to plant everything.

All types of celery must be harvested in the month of October. Petiole and root celery is removed completely, and leaf celery can be used for forcing greens in winter, for which the plants need to be dug out with a small clod of earth before the first frost and planted in small pots.

In the second year after sowing, celery leaves grow back in early spring, a straight stem is formed, the height of which, depending on the variety, is 30-100 mm, and an umbrella inflorescence. Celery blooms by mid-July, and at the beginning of August its seeds ripen, almost immediately after that the plant dies.

Mid-season variety (100-105 days after full shoots emergence). The rosette of leaves is semi-vertical, with numerous lateral shoots. Leaves are dark green, medium length.

But it is popular in Europe (in particular, in France).

The relatively recently appeared "self-bleaching" varieties of celery deserve special attention, since it is easier to grow them: you do not need to prepare a trench for them, they do not require hilling, they have shorter ripening periods, and their taste, in the opinion of many, is softer. True, they also have a drawback: they are less frost-resistant than traditional varieties, and the petioles of all "self-bleaching" varieties cannot be stored for a long time.The cultivation technique of root celery has some peculiarities, and the most important of them that can affect the quality of the root crop is the hilling of the fruit during growth. This is strictly prohibited, it is even recommended to cleanse the upper part of the root crop from the soil.

Petiolate celery - Jung, Malachite, Gold, White feather;Celery prefers humus-rich soil with sufficient moisture. Any culture can be a predecessor for it. In the fall, humus is introduced under the site intended for celery. Before planting, they dig up the earth to a depth of 25-30 cm, loosen the bed.

Root celerySowing celery in the ground should be done as early as possible, but not earlier than April 20. Previously, the seeds must be soaked for a day in water at room temperature, this will significantly accelerate their germination, then we plant the seeds to a depth of about 0.5-1 centimeters in prepared holes.

An early ripe variety of leaf celery with a half-raised rosette of leaves. From germination to technical ripeness, 85–90 days pass. The variety is fruitful, the leaves have a good taste and a strong aroma., The petiole is also of medium length. The yield and aroma of greens are high.Albin

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.Root celery - Maxim, Diamant, Esaul, Gribovsky, Apple.

Late varieties are grown in seedlings, early ripe ones are immediately sown in the beds. Planting celery directly into the ground is carried out as early as possible. The seeds are pre-soaked for 24 hours in warm water, which significantly accelerates germination, then planted to a depth of 0.5-1 cm in pre-prepared holes. Seedlings are thinned out, a distance of 8-10 cm is left between the plants.There are also varieties on sale

Among the presented plant varieties, you can choose absolutely any, since by creating certain conditions and observing the agricultural technology of growing celery, you can get good results. But pay attention to which plant variety suits you best, early or late.

Root celery is grown through seedlings. Seeds are sown in February-March. In order for the seedlings to be stronger and more friendly, the seeds are stratified: they are placed in wet gauze, kept at room temperature for 5-6 days, then placed in a refrigerator for 10-12 days, after which they are planted in the ground, to a depth of about 0.5 see A week later, shoots appear. If there are 1-2 true leaves, the seedlings dive.This must be done carefully, trying not to damage the central taproot, because then instead of an almost rounded root vegetable widened to the bottom, numerous thickened roots are formed in the lower part, which spoil its presentation. Seedlings can be grown without picking, but then they will be weaker and will take root worse during transplantation. Young plants are planted in the ground in mid-May at the age of 60-70 days. The distance when planting is 30x20 cm. Celery seedlings are planted at the same depth at which they grew in a greenhouse, the apical buds do not fall asleep.

Landing

Question! Please tell me - when to dive? The first real leaf is there, but it's not pepper or tomato) Not at all)

The main reason why root celery is cultivated is its root vegetable, which reaches 500-900 grams. There are quite a few varieties of root celery, but only a few of them are cultivated by gardeners: Root Gribovsky, Snow Globe and, of course, Apple. All varieties of celery root have a later ripening period, in comparison with leaf and petiole, from 140 to 190 days, and should be grown only through seedlings.

Root celery is sown for seedlings at the beginning of March, and its shoots appear about a month later. Sowing celery is best in containers filled with a light soil mixture consisting of 3 parts of peat, one part each of humus, turf and sand. For every 10 kg of such a mixture, you need to add twenty grams of urea and a glass of furnace ash.

Mid-ripening (from full germination to the beginning of technical ripeness 75-82 days). Rosette of leaves up to 65 cm high, vertical. Leaves are medium-sized, green, corrugated along the edge; petiole long, hollow. The yield of greenery is 3.8-4.0 kg / m2. Good taste. High aroma. Recommended for fresh and dried use in home cooking and for processing.

Celery care

Celery dive when it has 2-3 true leaves.)

Leaf celery is cultivated to obtain fortified aromatic leaves throughout the summer-autumn period, but it does not have a developed root crop. One of the most popular varieties of leaf celery is the Samurai variety, featuring an attractive curly leaf shape and corrugated edges. The Samurai variety is characterized by high taste and has increased resistance to low temperatures and drought.

To get more friendly and strong shoots, celery seeds must be stratified: we place them in wet gauze, keep them at room temperature for about 6-7 days and put them in the refrigerator for 12-14 days (on the lowest shelf). Only after carrying out all the above procedures, we sow celery seeds with a planting depth of about 0.5 cm.

- mid-early rooted celery variety. The leaves are powerful, erect, dark green. Root crops are round, brown, have few lateral roots, resistant to shooting. The mass of roots is 150-200 g. The roots are round, smooth, white, and remain whitened after cooking.

The seedlings are transferred into the ground, in 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 hillocks are possible.

Types and varieties of celery

First of all, watch out for the timely harvesting of weeds between the rows of planted plants, as well as for systematic watering

When growing celery of various types, plant care has a number of features. In addition to the agrotechnical measures listed above, high hilling of plants is carried out for petiole celery a couple of weeks before harvesting. This helps to whiten the petioles, as a result of which the amount of harsh-smelling essential oils decreases and bitterness disappears.

Immediately before sowing seeds, the soil must be well watered. When the moisture is absorbed, sprinkle the celery seeds without covering them with earth, and, covering the container on top with a film, leave it at room temperature. Before the emergence of shoots, as the soil dries up, it must be moistened with a sprayer - warm, previously settled water. Approximately two weeks after sowing the seeds, the soil should be sprayed with trichodermine (10 mg / m2).

When it comes to growing celery in general, the plant prefers quiet places with fertile soil and good lighting. But, it is quite real and a good harvest on slightly acidic soils, in partial shade, in this case you will not lose in the harvest, but only get some of its changes, for example, a change in the aroma of celery leaves.

As for root celery, caring for it also includes a number of specific techniques. To obtain a high-quality root crop in the middle of summer, its upper part is freed from the ground and the side roots are cut off. As a result, in the fall, the plant will form a large rounded root crop. In addition, when growing, it is necessary to take into account the following property of this celery variety: increased root growth begins after the leaves fall to the ground. Therefore, for good development of the root crop, the leaves are artificially pressed to the ground with hands or with a light roller. At the same time, the petioles crack, which, however, does not harm the growth process of root crops.

In the first year of cultivation, forms a rosette of glossy dark green leaves on long, sometimes fleshy cuttings, and, depending on the variety, root or root crop. In the second year, the leaves grow back in early spring, immediately after the soil thaws. Further, a straight stem with a height of 30-100 mm is formed, hollow inside, and an umbellate inflorescence. Celery blooms in small white flowers by mid-July. In August, the seeds ripen, after which the plant dies.

Immediately after the emergence of celery shoots, it is necessary to reduce the temperature in the room with seedling containers to a level of 13-16 ° C. With the appearance of the first true leaf, the root celery seedlings dive, and they are hardened 14 days before planting in the ground. Dive celery seedlings carefully so as not to damage the taproot of the plant, otherwise the celery will grow ugly and small. Seedlings of root celery are planted in a permanent place by the end of May Gold - a variety of root celery. Zoned in 1998 in the North-West, Central and East Siberian regions. Mid-season. The period from full germination to technical ripeness is 170-180 days. The root crop is rounded, large, smooth, yellowish-gray, the roots are low. The pulp is white. Yield 25 t / ha. The variety is distinguished by high marketability, aromaticity, and a high total sugar content in root crops. Sugar content 8%, dry matter Thus, juicy green petioles are freed from possible bitterness and become more delicate, the cultivation method has the original name - petiole bleaching. Whitening is supported by another special technique: 12-14 days before harvest, the petioles are tied into a single bundle and wrapped in paper, while the celery is removed before freezing.

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.

I threw them pepper seeds, left over from sowing, to grow them. Those, too, ascended, although they were rejected) So, when picking pepper, of course, I had to catch a couple of celery. One got into the depths, but the second had to be planted, from the edge. And two days later - it sticks out)) True, leaning on the side, but so cheerfully, with its real leaf: heeeelp, me))) Ie. the strength in them, immeasurable)) Petiole celery is grown to obtain fleshy petioles, the thickness of which reaches 4-5 cm. Petiole celery, just like leaf celery, does not form root crops, only its leaves and petioles are eaten. Perhaps the most popular petiole celery is Tango - a high-yielding, mid-season variety that has excellent taste and retains its presentation for a long time.

In order to change the germination of leaf celery seeds for the better, they must be prepared. For this, the seeds are soaked in a special solution, for example, in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, and left for several hours. After that, the seeds are germinated on moistened gauze for several days.

Although I'm trying to grow celery, I still can't get a good harvest ... I just have to be content with the purchased one ...

If you do not have the opportunity to grow celery seedlings, you can purchase them, but remember: good planting material is plants whose height reaches 13-15 cm with a strong root system and four to five branches.

Malachite

- medium late variety of root celery. From germination to harvesting root crops 180-190 days. Root crops are flat and round, weighing 110–150 g, with a small number of lateral roots. The pulp is white, dense, with a delicate spicy taste.

Celery stalk: planting, leaving, harvesting

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.
