Is celery hard to grow?
It is one of the more demanding vegetables, needing a long season, rich soil, and constant moisture, but the crisp, flavorful stalks are worth the effort.
When and how do I plant celery seeds?
Start indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost. Press the tiny seeds onto the surface (they need light) and keep them warm and moist; they germinate slowly, over about 14 to 21 days.
How much sun and space does celery need?
Grow it in full sun to part shade, and space plants about 8 to 10 inches apart. It prefers cool, steady conditions.
How do I get tender, non-stringy celery?
Never let it dry out. Constant, generous watering and rich soil are the keys to crisp, tender stalks rather than tough, stringy ones.
How long until celery is ready?
Usually around 100 to 120 days. Harvest the whole plant at the base or take outer stalks as needed, and cool weather sweetens the flavor.
How do I use celery?
Enjoy the crisp stalks raw with dips or in salads, use them as the aromatic base of soups and stocks, and add the flavorful leaves to dishes as a herb.
