|Celery Seed Planting
Celery does not like hot weather and will grow
best if 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 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 roots in ground for compost. Cover plants with mulch when
temperatures fall below freezing. Plants can grow 1 - 2 ft tall.
