Growing Information:
Celery and Celeriac
CULTURE: Celery and celeriac must be kept well-fertilized and watered throughout the season. Do not let the soil dry out, indoors or out. Ensure fertile soil for good size and mild taste.
GROWING SEEDLINGS: Sow in early March or 10-12 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Sow about 6 seeds per inch, 1/8" deep, and keep soil moist and temperatures 70-75°F (21-24°C) if possible. Seedlings emerge in 2-3 weeks and then temperature can be reduced to 60-70°F (16-21°C).
TRANSPLANTING: When seedlings have 2 true leaves, transplant to 1 1/2" plug trays. Transplant outdoors in late May to mid-June when weather is warm and settled. Set plants 6-8" apart in rows 24-36" apart. Irrigate to keep soil moist.
HARVEST: Late summer through fall at a 3-5" diameter.
BOLTING: Caused by exposure of young plants to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) for 10 days or more. When hardening plants before transplanting out, reduce water for 7-10 days. Do not harden off celery plants by lowering temperatures!
DISEASES AND PESTS: For leaf blights, rotate crops. Ensure adequate soil calcium and water to prevent "black heart". For Celery Mosaic (mottled leaves, twisted stems, dwarfing), control aphids.
STORAGE: After harvest remove field heat by dunking plants in cold water. Store sound heads/roots at 95-98% humidity and near-freezing temps.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From date of transplanting.
CAUTION: In rare instances contact with the foliage can result in a severe rash. When working with this crop on hot, sunny days, we recommend wearing long sleeves and long pants and washing any exposed skin surfaces as soon as possible after contact.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/OZ: See individual varieties.
PACKET: 250 seeds.
