| Tango Hybrid Celery |
Celery is a great vegetable to try growing, even in the north. Normally, I’d suggest a variety that takes 70 days or less to mature to fit our growing season, but since celery is slow to grow, I did my best to come up with some varieties to try.

Conquistador: Early variety - good for growing in the north. Produces tall, crisp stalks that are full of flavor. Adapts well. 80 days.
Tango Hybrid: High-yielding. Produces crunchy, sweet stalks ready for harvest 2 weeks earlier than older varieties. Resists Fusariums. 85 days.

Ventura is a great variety to grow here in Maine. It has some tolerance to fusarium. 80 days. My eight year old started it from seed last year and we had enough to supply the neighborhood and then some!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'll be sure to check Ventura out. I think it's great when kids get into gardening :)
