Harvesting and preserving celery

[@sheriashton3591]

Nice simple video. Thank you for posting it and not stretching the process into a longer version than it needed to be. You got to the point. Thanks again!

I died when she threw the tops into compost, that’s for stock!

[@Le-vh9iv]

It probably would have dried and stored easier too.

[@janejdough2230]

me too!

[@alascalivlog7931]

awesome ❤️❤️❤️

If you make pickles, you can add celery leaves in the jars, they give a very nice flavour. Plus you can eat them and they taste gorgeous.

This is my first year growing celery. Thank you to your young expert gardener for showing me how to harvest them !

[@plowhand5591]

You have a very soothing voice. I could see the ❤ love in the eyes of your son - and the chickens and goats 🐐 . 👍🙂

[@ohappyday578]

All the celery leaves are edible and can be dehydrated as well.

[@kimberlyspence7610]

I know😊 I think the leaves are the best part of that plant.

[@d.parisi]

Thank you for sharing this. You can also dehydrate the leaves and make celery salt as well.

[@sherryedwards9571]

Your helper was the best!

[@sashaarr7122]

[@sheriashton3591]

Question…could you have dehydrated the leaves as well for soups and such? I’m thinking compost would be wasting it? Thanks!

[@pidpit]

Thank you!

[@joanmerriken9216]

I also freeze the leaves for soups.

[@mommytwins6]

That is hilarious about the goats with the chickens. You are motivating me to cook better for my family

[@sandiellett1786]

I love celery leaves, I use them like an herb.

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

Yes, I chop them up and use in my green salads and in chicken soup.

[@jodihilt6675]

What is the variety of celery that you grow and where can I purchase some celery seed like these?

[@tabathad3228]

Ty

[@tobim4ever]

Do you blanch your celery? Am new to celery planting and I read somewhere the need to blanch them .

[@DesertHavaGarden]

I do not blanch them. I don’t believe it is necessary.

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

I just harvested all of my celery its May 14, 2024 and I found this video helpful. I will be using these preserving tips. Happy gardening from zone 9b Sarasota, Florida 😊

[@annbeetham1710]

The tops are wonderful to eat. Seems a waste to put them in the compost

[@gingerjimmy345]

Dont Throw of the celery leaves ! they're are my favourite part ! Dry them and powder them, mix it with salt and BOOM everyone will ask for the "secret sauce" of your bloody mary!

[@monicavaccaro8872]

Why throw away the tops. Cant they too be frozen or made into soup stock and then frozen or dehydrating? It is such a waste, even if the chickens eat them or go to compost.

[@DesertHavaGarden]

You certainly can use the tops In those ways! I had more celery than we could use so sharing with the animals worked for me.

[@Francina214]

Anyone growing Redventure celery??

[@DesertHavaGarden]

[@Francina214]
