Celery

Did you know that celery seeds are VERY slow to germinate? It is much easier to plant transplants – and being a cool weather plant, you can put your transplants in ~two weeks before average last frost date. To be ready for Spring, you should start seeds two to four months prior to your planting date (we did say VERY slow to germinate!).

Did you know that soil for good celery growth must have plenty of moisture but also good drainage (making it a perfect plant for an Eco Garden)? Celery can also tolerate partial shade making it a very versatile plant for home gardeners.

Did you know that magnesium rich and calcium rich soil can help protect celery from common disease (Pink rot, black heart, blights, etc.)?

Did you know that celery is a member of the parsley family?
