Sowing
Sow indoors in early spring. The seed is tiny and is usually sown on the surface or barely covered; keep it warm and evenly damp, as it can be slow.
Tips
- Never let the mix dry out.
- Harden off carefully; young celery is sensitive to cold. One gardener protected seedlings outdoors with milk-carton cloches.
- Sow in batches for a longer harvest.
Always check the packet for your variety, and see the step-by-step guide for the basics.
