Stop buying celery at store. Grow a never-ending supply at home in a pot with this guide

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

Add chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened.

Stir in the marinara sauce, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Combine the cooked spaghetti with the sauce in the skillet, mixing well to coat all the pasta.

Transfer the spaghetti mixture to a large baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden crust.

Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

For a healthier twist, use ground turkey or chicken instead of ground beef. To add some veggies to the dish, sauté bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach along with the onions and garlic. If you have picky eaters, consider making a half-and-half version with plain spaghetti on one side and the full sauce mix on the other. For extra flavor, you can mix in a bit of ricotta cheese with the pasta before baking.

7. Ensuring Proper Sunlight and Temperature Conditions

Celery thrives in full sun, so aim to place your pot in a location that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. If you’re growing celery indoors, a south-facing window is ideal. If natural light is limited, consider using a grow light to supplement the plant’s needs.
Celery prefers cooler temperatures, ideally between 60-70°F (15-21°C). Avoid exposing the plant to extreme heat or cold, as this can stress the plant and affect its growth.
8. Common Mistakes to Avoid When Growing Celery
One common mistake is overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Ensure your pot has proper drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in water. Another mistake is planting celery too deep, which can hinder its growth. The base should be just below the soil surface.
Additionally, neglecting to provide enough sunlight can result in weak, spindly stalks. Make sure your celery plant receives adequate light to promote strong, healthy growth.
9. How to Harvest Celery for Continuous Growth
To harvest celery, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the outer stalks at the base, leaving the inner stalks to continue growing. This method allows the plant to keep producing new stalks, providing you with a continuous supply.
Regular harvesting encourages the plant to grow more vigorously. Aim to harvest when the stalks are about 8-10 inches tall, as this is when they are most tender and flavorful.
