Elne Celery

Here are some short tips for seeding Elne Celery seeds:

1. Start Early: Begin seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost date, as celery has a long growing season.

2. Soil: Use well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Enrich soil with compost to improve nutrients.

3. Sowing Depth: Sow seeds on the surface and lightly press them into the soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep them moist.

4. Temperature: Maintain soil temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination. Keep the soil consistently moist.

5. Watering: Celery requires consistent moisture throughout its growing season. Water deeply to keep the soil evenly moist.

6. Sunlight: Provide full sun, but celery can tolerate some light shade, especially in hot climates.

7. Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are large enough to handle and after all risk of frost has passed (usually 12-14 weeks after sowing).

8. Spacing: Space plants 8-10 inches apart to give them room to grow tall and strong.

9. Fertilization: Celery is a heavy feeder. Use a balanced fertilizer or compost regularly throughout the growing season.

10. Pest Control: Watch for aphids and slugs. Use organic pest control methods like neem oil or diatomaceous earth.

Happy growing!
