Planting Instructions: Soil Preparation: To prepare soil, remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade the soil 8-12 inches deep and turn each shovel of soil over completely to cover the plant materials with soil. You may add fertilizer or 2-3 inches of organic material such as compost, leaves, or rotted hay over the planting area at this point. Till to mix this organic material into the top 8-10 inches of soil. Make rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 2 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage. Grows best in moist soil rich in organic matter. Planting: Start indoors 10 weeks before the last average frost in Spring then transplant seedlings when 3" tall in at least 55F temperatures. Transplant outdoors when day temperatures are stay above 55F and night temperatures are above 40F. Or, directly sow in at least 55F soil in Spring, or late Summer/Fall, in loose, fertile, moist, well-draining soil in full sun if planting in a cloudy climate or in partial shade if in hot climates. Plant seeds in a single seed line in 1-to-2-foot apart raised beds at 6 inches apart at 1/8 inch depth. Apium seeds need light to germinate, so barely cover the seed. Soil temperature for best germination is 70F and soil temperature for best growth is 60F-70F. Keep weed free and keep soil moist but not soggy. Plant in rich soil that has been amended with a good amount of rich organic matter. Planting Depth: 1/8 inch Within-Row Spacing: 6 inches Between-Row Spacing: 18 inches Care During the Season: Watering: Water the plants enough to keep from wilting, about every 5-7 days. Weeding: Keep plants as weed-free as possible. When plowing or hoeing try to prevent cutting the feeder rooters which may slow the plant's growth. Fertilizing: You may add a complete fertilizer for each 100 square feet of garden area. Work into the soil and leave the surface smooth. For small gardens, use 1/8 cup per 4 plants. Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Before using a pesticide, read the label and always follow cautions, warnings and directions. Diseases: Check the plants daily and if spots or mold appear, treat the plant with an approved fungicide. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may be used. Please always follow label directions. Harvesting: Harvest celery stalks as needed by removing outer stalks when they are 12" or more in length, or harvest whole plants.
