One of the more demanding crops — needs consistent moisture and a long season. Blanch stems by wrapping or earthing up to reduce bitterness.
Daucus carota
A fellow Apiaceae — similar growing habits to Celery
Attract Hoverflies, Lacewings, Ladybugs, Parasitic wasps, Ground beetles to keep them in check — plant SainfoinExcellent, Alsike CloverGreat and Berseem CloverGreat nearby.Start Celery indoors about 10 weeks before your last frost, keeping seeds in cooler soil (around 10–18 °C). Seeds usually come up in around 14 days. Move seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed, in partial sun, spaced about 30 cm apart. Expect to harvest in roughly 120 days.
Celery seed rarely stays viable beyond 3 years — track what's still worth sowing.
Water: High · Height: 60 cm · Soil: Rich, moisture-retentive — never allow to dry out
Aphididae
Curled leaves, sticky honeydew and ants on patrol — usually with something already eating them.
These three thrive alongside Celery — and alongside each other.
