How to Plant Celery from Seed

When to Plant Seeds

  • Spring Crop: Start seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost date.
  • Fall Crop: Directly sow seeds 10-12 weeks before the first expected frost.

Preparing for Planting

  1. Select a sunny, well-drained site with nutrient-rich soil.
  2. Loosen soil 12 inches deep and mix in compost or aged manure.
  3. Maintain a consistent soil pH of 6.0-6.8.

Direct Sowing Outdoors

  • Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, 6-8 inches apart, in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
  • Thin seedlings to 6-10 inches apart once they develop true leaves.

Starting Indoors

  • Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed trays filled with moist potting mix.
  • Keep temperatures 70-75°F (21-24°C) for germination.
  • Seeds take 14-21 days to sprout.
  • Transplant seedlings when they have 4-5 true leaves.

Pro Tip

Celery needs consistently moist soil—dry spells can make the stalks tough and bitter. For the best flavor and texture, blanch the stalks by wrapping them with newspaper or piling soil around them as they grow.

Bonus: Harvest stalks from the outside first to keep the plant producing!

Getting to know your Celery

Celery is a slow-growing, cool-season vegetable that requires nutrient-rich, moist soil to thrive. It produces long, fibrous stalks with green, feathery leaves. Celery takes 85-120 days to mature and prefers temperatures between 60-75°F. It requires frequent watering to prevent toughness and bitterness. The plant benefits from blanching, where soil is mounded around the base to produce tender, pale stalks. Celery is rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, making it a staple in soups, salads, and snacks. Pests like aphids and leaf miners are common, requiring vigilant pest management.

What it's used for

1. Culinary Uses:

  • Stalks are eaten raw, cooked, or juiced.
  • Leaves can be used as herbs in soups and salads.
  • Celery seeds are used as spices and in herbal remedies.

2. Nutritional Benefits:

  • Low in calories and high in fiber, vitamin K, and antioxidants.
  • Supports digestion, hydration, and heart health.

3. Companion Planting:

  • Grows well with tomatoes, onions, beans, and cabbage.
  • Avoid planting near corn or potatoes, which compete for nutrients.
Growth Requirements

Light:

  • Requires full sun to partial shade (6+ hours of sunlight per day).

Soil:

  • Prefers rich, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8.
  • Add organic matter like compost or aged manure before planting.

Watering:

  • Needs constant moisture due to its shallow root system.
  • Water regularly and deeply, ensuring soil remains evenly moist.

Temperature & Climate:

  • Best growing temperatures: 55-75°F (13-24°C).
  • Can tolerate light frost, but extreme heat can cause bolting.

Fertilization:

  • Use a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10 or compost tea) every 2-3 weeks.
  • Side-dress with nitrogen fertilizer for strong stalk development.
Maintenance

Watering:

  • Celery requires constant moisture, so water consistently.
  • Mulch with straw or compost to retain moisture and prevent weeds.

Fertilization:

  • Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks.
  • Use fish emulsion or compost tea for organic growth.

Blanching (For Mild Flavor):

  • To reduce bitterness, tie outer leaves around the stalks or pile soil around the base.

    Celery is ready 80-140 days after planting.
