Growing Celery
Growing Celery
- For successful cultivation of celery, it is recommended to begin the process in either early spring or late summer, as these seasons provide optimal cool weather conditions. To achieve the best outcome, start growing celery indoors approximately 10-12 weeks prior to the final frost or 8-10 weeks before the first autumn frost.
- To ensure the best results for your plants, it's crucial to choose the right potting mix. Opt for an organic one that is both moist and well-drained. Additionally, it's important to maintain a pH level between 6 and 7 in the potting mix. This will create optimal conditions for your seeds to germinate, which typically takes around 14 to 21 days. Once your plants have grown into healthy starts, transplant them at a distance of 9 to 12 inches apart. This will provide enough space for their roots to spread and prevent competition for resources.
- To prevent bolting, it is important to regularly water the plant and apply a top layer of mulch for cooling. Throughout the season, additional compost can be beneficial if applied properly.
- Celery has a longer harvest date, but once established, it can provide multiple harvests similar to leafy greens.
- For harvesting the outer stalks, it is important to wait until they are at least 6-8 inches tall. Cut them from the base, making sure not to harm the shallow roots. This way, the inner stalks will be able to continue producing.
