$4.50
Sold Out

Living Web Ventura Celery (Apium graveolens): Originally ‘Ventura,’ but it has been growing naturalized in a greenhouse in Mills River NC, for around a decade! At this point, it shows all the same diversity you would expect from a landrace, and it has slightly smaller stalks than the average Ventura plant, but the plants are nevertheless vigorous, productive, and quite cold-hardy.

Germination Rate: -

Weight (avg. seeds): 0.5 g (1,230)

Grower: Patryk Battle

Pat Battle has been growing this celery for over a decade. The seeds were originally ‘Ventura’, but it has been growing naturalized (self-seeding) in a greenhouse in Mills River, NC!

Pat comments, “In my experience, if you grow the Living Web Farms Ventura as if you’re trying to grow great celery you can get nice big stalks. I think it has smaller stalks when it is volunteering, but performs like any other celery if it’s given the nutrition and water that celery loves. In the photo gallery, the picture of the celery on top of the worm box is from plants that had no water whatsoever except for what it could get from the ground. I’m amazed it even germinated in a greenhouse that was never watered that year! The picture of the celery growing next to the strawberry bed shows pretty regular-sized celery, at least for the celery I’ve managed to grow. Those stalks were grown by us and were given adequate nutrition and irrigation.”

The plants are nevertheless vigorous, productive, and quite cold-hardy.
