How to care for celery Golden Self-blanching:
Celery prefers a moisture-retentive, fertile soil in a sunny spot with some shelter from drying winds. Mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Apply a balanced liquid feed every couple of weeks during the growing season to encourage lush, steady growth.
Sowing instructions:
Scatter the fine seed on damp seed compost in trays under glass in early spring, leaving them on the surface without covering.
Pot up seedlings individually as they grow, and when they are 6-7cm tall, gradually harden off before planting out 20cm apart where they are to grow. Keep well-watered and protect from slugs. Grow celery in tight-knit blocks rather than rows so they blanch each other as they grow, resulting in even paler stems.
