Celery is a long-season crop that can be tricky to grow, some might say, the trickiest of all. It likes fertile soil, cool temperatures, and constant moisture. It will not tolerate heat and can be hard to transplant. Summer crops in the north and winter crops in the south make celery a year-round producer. All the work is worth it when you harvest crunchy, green stalks.

Celery seeds should always be started indoors for the best success rate, 8 to 10 weeks before the average last frost date for your area.
For summer gardeners, a late summer direct sowing is possible. Be sure that temps will stay between 55 and 70ºF throughout growing period.
Soak seeds in warm water overnight prior to planting, to reduce germination time.

Harden off seedlings before transplanting by reducing water slightly, and keeping them outdoors for a couple hours a day.
Transplant seedlings 10 to 12 inches apart, direct sow seeds ¼ inch deep. These will need to be thinned to 12 inches apart when they reach about six inches high.
Mulch and water directly after planting.

Celery is a heavy feeder. It also requires lots of water. Make sure to provide plenty of water during the entire growing season, especially during hot, dry weather.

Add plenty of compost and mulch around the plants to retain moisture. Fertilize regularly.
Tie growing celery stalks together to keep them from sprawling.
You may begin harvesting when stalks are about 8 inches tall.
