Description

Celery (Apium graveolens) is a nutritious, crunchy vegetable known for its distinct flavor and high water content. It's commonly used in salads, soups, and as a snack. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like potassium, celery is appreciated for its health benefits, including aiding digestion and reducing inflammation.

How to Grow Celery

1. Soil Preparation : Choose a well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Incorporate compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil.

2. Planting Seeds : Start seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost or directly in the garden after the frost. Sow seeds about ¼ inch deep.

3. Transplanting : When seedlings are 4-6 inches tall and have at least two true leaves, transplant them outdoors, spacing plants 6-8 inches apart.

4. Watering : Celery needs consistent moisture. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

5. Sunlight : Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Celery prefers cooler temperatures, so some shade can be beneficial in hot climates.

6. Fertilization : Use a balanced fertilizer every few weeks to support healthy growth.

7. Pest Management : Watch for pests like aphids and snails. Use organic pest control methods if necessary.

8. Harvesting : Celery is usually ready to harvest in 90-120 days. Cut the stalks at the base when they are crisp and about 8-10 inches tall. 

With proper care, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of fresh celery!
