Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Celery seeds require light to germinate, so lightly press them into the soil surface without covering them completely. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing plants 6-8 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart.
  • Sunlight: Celery thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure your plants receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.
  • Soil: Plant in rich, well-drained soil with a high organic matter content. Celery prefers a soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding compost or aged manure to the soil before planting will help improve fertility.
  • Watering: Celery requires consistent moisture for healthy growth. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Mulching around the plants helps retain soil moisture.
  • Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, organic fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to support vigorous growth and crisp stalks.

Harvesting Tips:

  • When to Harvest: Harvest when the stalks are 12-18 inches tall and the plant has a well-formed bunch, typically 85-100 days after transplanting. Celery can be harvested stalk by stalk as needed or cut the entire plant at once.
  • How to Harvest: Use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut the stalks at the base of the plant. For continuous harvest, cut outer stalks first and allow the inner stalks to continue growing.
  • Storage: Store harvested celery in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To extend storage life, wrap the stalks in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag. Celery can also be blanched and frozen for longer storage.

Culinary Uses:

  • Salads: Add fresh, chopped celery to salads for a crisp texture and refreshing flavor that complements a variety of ingredients.
  • Soups and Stews: Celery is a classic ingredient in many soups and stews, providing a flavorful base and adding a pleasant crunch.
  • Stir-Fries: Sauté celery with other vegetables for a quick, healthy stir-fry that pairs well with chicken, beef, or tofu.
  • Snacking: Enjoy celery sticks as a healthy snack, paired with dips like hummus, peanut butter, or ranch dressing.
  • Juicing: Celery juice is popular for its hydrating properties and refreshing taste, often used in detox drinks and smoothies.

Nutritional and Medicinal Benefits:

  • Rich in Vitamins and Minerals: Celery is high in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as potassium and folate, making it a nutritious addition to any diet.
  • Low in Calories: Celery is low in calories but high in fiber, making it a great choice for those looking to maintain a healthy weight or incorporate more fiber into their diet.
  • Hydrating: With its high water content, celery is excellent for hydration and can help support overall health and well-being.
