Growing Instructions
Starting your seeds
You can start celery seeds indoors using a heat mat for better germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing celery seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep with a light cover of soil in well-drained soil. Space them 8 inches apart to allow for proper growth and development.
Harvesting your seeds
To harvest celery wait until the stalks are firm and have reached a desirable size, typically around 8 to 12 inches in height. Use a sharp knife to cut the celery stalks at the base, just above the soil level. Harvest outer stalks first, allowing the inner ones to continue growing for future harvests.
