FREE: Homegrown Organic Celery Seed

The listing, Homegrown Organic Celery Seed has ended.

I have quite a few Celery seeds I would like to share harvested from last year!

Celery is a cool-season crop and needs a long growing season (80-140 days) , so it is best to plant as soon as soil can be worked. Celery can stand a light frost and prefers light, rich moist to wet soil. Sow celery seeds in North in a warm, well-lighted area or in a hotbed about 10-12 weeks before the last heavy frost date in spring. In South and other mild areas, sow from fall to early spring. Sow seeds 1/4" deep in seed starting formula. Keep evenly moist. Seedlings emerge in 10-21 days.

Transplant to individual containers when seedlings are large enough to handle easily about 1" high. Before transfer to garden, accustom to outdoor conditions by moving to a sheltered area outside for a week.
Set celery plants in a sunny location in the garden in early spring to early summer, 6"apart in rows 1 1/2" apart.

Harvest in about 115 days from setting plants in the garden. Harvest stalks by cutting the base at soil level with a knife. Celery is great as a fresh snack or diced for use as a seasoning vegetable. Celery leaves and seeds are also edible. Eat leaves while still tender, before becoming fibrous. Collect celery seed after flowering and grind up or use for celery flavoring in cooking.

Please have your address verified as this is the only way I will ship on Mondays. Thank you!
