Celery does not tolerate hot weather and grows best when started indoors. Plant your seeds indoors, 10 to 12 weeks before setting outside. Transplant them in the garden when plants are at least 6" tall and when soil temperature is above 55°F. Harden off before planting in the garden. Prepare garden soil before transplanting outdoors. Spring planting should occur as soon as the soil can be worked. You can begin harvesting the stalks anytime after the plant has leaves. You can cut the stalks at ground level and leave the roots in the ground for compost. Cover plants with mulch when temperatures fall below freezing. Plants can grow 1 - 2 ft tall.
Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Add manure, peat moss, and compost to trenches. Apply mulch. grass clippings, or straw, around the base of the plant.
Avoid over-watering transplants, or you may drown the plants. When the plants have been set outdoors and have begun to grow new shoots, water them well. Celery requires a lot of water, and it is best to flood irrigate the plants. Keep watered during dry and hot spells.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks. Side dress plants with compost, bone meal, and seaweed every few weeks for added calcium.
Cut the entire plant at ground level with a sharp knife when the stalks are 1" wide.
