Growing method

Celery is an annual plant best planted in early spring in full sun and well-drained moist soil. Celery can become bitter if the temperature is too high. Growing celery requires regular fertilization and watering because of its shallow root system. Celery can also be grown in containers and is a good addition to the edible garden.

Celery prefers cooler weather and plenty of humidity. Overall, it grows best in areas with mild temperatures and moderate humidity, such as coastal areas. Under proper growing conditions, celery takes about 70-90 days to mature and be ready for harvest. When harvesting celery, it is important to ensure that all stalks remain tough and free of blemishes. Celery harvested too early will not keep properly and will quickly become soft and unappetizing. It is best to harvest celery in the morning after the dew has dried to ensure that the stalks remain dry and can be stored correctly.
