I read from Toby's blog how easy it is to plant celery. So that's what I did. I love celery and I reckon I should have some in my garden.
What you see here is what I stuck into the pot after removing the outer stalks for consumption.
I watered it faithfully everyday and it seemed to grow.
I was very encouraged.
And then one morning....
....grrrrrr!!!! It was a very dark gloomy morning hence the quality of the photo. Sam the snail was happily snacking on my celery.
Well, I had it removed, pronto!
Tsk! One stalk gone. I have to keep a watchful eye for pesky critters.
Sadly my celery did not survive. Not because Sam chewed on it but because I over watered it :(

Hi PH..gud morningg..
ReplyDeleteWah tanam celery plak..masih boleh diselamatkan tu..daun masih hijau..
Tapi dah mati sebab PH siram air terlalu banyak :(
DeleteSo sad :(
ReplyDeleteYeah...
DeleteUnlike you, I absolutely hate celery, so I will not be attempting this anytime soon. Also, couldn't you turned the snail into escargot? That would be nice. :P
ReplyDeleteEeeekks!! Geli lah to eat the garden snail >.<
DeleteIt's not that you failed at growing celery, you grew one that's obviously very tasty for Sam...haha! ;D This is not the same stinky Chinese celery leaves I had the other day, right? Otherwise, good riddance....wakakakakaka! ;P
ReplyDeletehah..hah... You don't like Chinese celery leaves, eh? I used to hate them too but somehow I have come to appreciate them in soups :)
DeleteMuahahahaha!!!! So frustrating sometimes, when something is growing so well and suddenly, something happens.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was so angry with that snail! So many times it ate my celery and I have given up :(
DeleteI love celery but hubby won't eat it. So no planting of celery for me. I hate it when the snails came to chew on our edibles. It can be so frustrating! Ha ha! I too have the habit of over watering and drowning my plants.
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to get it right with watering. I always fear my plants will dry out and die when in actual fact they will die with too much water.
DeleteNever mind, try again. Do not overwater this time. ;)
ReplyDeleteI also failed few times in planting. Not every plants are the same. Some is easy but others hard to take care of. I learn that.
I did try and made the same mistake :( Will try again when I am in the mood.
Deletei like to eat celery too but i am not as diligent as you to plant it. did you throw sam far far away?
ReplyDeleteYes, Sam was thrown to another galaxy hah..hah...
DeleteHi Phong Hong,
ReplyDeleteI like celery but my kids don't fancy it. Occasionally make celery salary toss with some nuts & ham they will eat more of nuts & ham ... hee... hee!
Hi Karen! I have yet to try celery in salad.
DeleteAla...
ReplyDeleteNvm, can try again, right? :)
Will do! Hope successful :)
DeleteI do not really like the taste of celery
ReplyDeleteOh, OK...
DeleteI don't mind eating celery, it is good for high blood pressure... and I think the snail has good taste too! LOL..
ReplyDeleteLOL! Poor snail was transported to never never land :D
DeleteThanks a million for sharing this. I have an exact stalk at home as my wife has been blending juices for me. I will plant them tonight! Yay!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
DeleteBuat sup pun sedap ni kan... Banyak khasiatnya. Selalu beli buat juice campur dengan apple hijau. Orang cakap boleh turunkan darah tinggi
ReplyDeleteLL suka sup ayam dengan celery. Sedap! Kalau buat jus, tak minat sangat sebab malas nak basuh juicer :(
DeleteI think I'll try to plant celery as I always cannot finish a packet by myself before it got rotten and luckily my balcony garden don't have any Sam's relative :P
ReplyDeletehah..hah.. Then your celery should do well. Just don't over water it.
DeleteOh, over-watering pun tak boleh eh? I ingat just water the plant..
ReplyDeleteAha, I lagi best. The plant that I got from my friend for my son's school project, I letak bawah aircond lagi, PH. By now, sudah layu ^_^ Kesian that plant. Kalau still at my friend's house, tentu hidup subur sampai 'dewasa' tapi dapat kat I ni, hancur jadinya!
Adoi! hah..hah.. Poor plant. It's OK lah MD. I pun have plants that died. Just I tak cerita jer..
