How to grow

Celery seeds do best when started indoors. Using seedling modules or small pots, sow a pinch of Celery seeds in each pot and barely cover with damp compost. Celery seeds need light to germinate so it is important the seeds are barely covered. Place the modules or pots near a window. Germination can take up to 3 weeks. Keep the soil moist during this time. When the seedlings become established, thin them to leave the strongest one in each pot or module. Transplant them out to their final spot when all risk of frost has passed and temperatures are reasonable.
