How to grow caliiflower
Having my own greenhouse and propagating for many years, I have always had some issue or another with harvesting good tasting non bitter celery and was happy to obtain the info from your video so I don't keep repeating my mistakes !
The type I am choosing this year is "Utah Tall" and will start these in my green house "Gardening With Vincenzo" on YouTube…I know they require moist Nitrogen laden loamy soil so I am going to add a bit of coffee grounds to the organic soil mixture !
I'm hoping for a nice crop as I eat it all the time , love the taste and as I always say "Fresh Is Best" !
Thank You for Sharing !
Nice
WHEN to start celery seeds? Soil temperature?
I have had a little success raising celery from store bought stalks but am excited to try raising them from seed in the future as I TOTALLY LOVE celery for SO MANY things!
I put it in soups, in salads, eat it raw and if it is big enough, use it on shish kebabs!

Thanks so much for making this video!!!
Helpful tips! I’m planting celery today. Thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video. No one had celery plants for sale in my county this year. No one had celery seeds for sale until March this year and being in Florida that's three months past planting season. Following the directions on the package of celery seeds I have had three failed attempts at getting celery to germinate. Now I know why. The package said plant at a 1/4 inch depth. Also, under our hot Florida sun (its mid April and we have already had days near 90 degrees f.) you can't leave seeds on the surface as the top 1/4 inch of soil turns to dust 30 minutes after you soak it with water. So it looks like my best bet is to sow indoors and keep it in a window. That way they get plenty of sun and drying out won't be as big an issued. I was also doing like I do with seeds, I tend to make the soil very moist and not at all crumbly. I am so glad I found your video. Other YouTubers posting on the topic have suggested just buying starter plants which is not possible since there are and have been none for sale this year anywhere in my county. I really miss celery but at least I have a better idea how to be eating celery by mid summer.
My Utah celery managed to germinate well without sunlight using the paper towel method in open sandwhich bags. I did place it in a very warm cabinet above the fridge (around 75 degrees) and left it for just over a week, misting the inside of the bag occasionally so it didn't dry out. Now, that said, I did immediately transfer them into an egg-carton with soil and put them in front of a window, but for just getting them to start to germinate at this the Utah variety doesn't seem too picky. Only time will tell how they thrive.
Thanks for the tip. Finger crossed that celery seeds I sow three days ago will germinate!
Thank you Luke, hands down the best video on how to start celery ! Tried your method, and like you said, I had to be patient. Was rewarded with the tiniest sprouts after 19 days, happiest gardener ever.

I wish alive your garden.
I followed this and my celery seeds germinated in 3 days !!
celery has no seeds??
Yayyy thanks!
Soak the seeds in water or a ziplock bag wrapped in wet paper towel. They will sprout in several weeks. Keep near a window, plant when 1 inch long and plant has its first leaves.
"You can cover with a little of cellophane"… but then you say "they need the sun so don't cover them with anything." I'm assuming you mean don't cover them with soil, correct? Because obviously the cellophane will be okay. Also… will an indoor grow light be adequate in place of sun since I don't get a lot of sun from my tiny studio apartment window? So I'd put the seeds under the light right away? Thanks 🙂
I've got seeds, and am now ready to do it. Thanks!
It'd be nice to show the 3 week update at the end of the video to show the viewer that this method really works.
Hi what fertilizer are used after they germinate and how often thanks
