Celery contains a very high quantity of water and its fibrous nature makes it ideal for those who like to snack without gaining weight.
Celery leaves can also be eaten or used in soups or used to make celery juice.
Celery has a growing period of approximately 5 months. A winter frost can completely destroy an entire crop.
Add compost or organic fertilizer, manure to the soil a few weeks before planting celery seedlings.
The germination rate of celery is not very high, sow celery seeds 5-6 centimeters and 0.5 cm deep.
Plant your celery plants when they are about 8cm tall (5-6 weeks) and when temperatures have risen slightly. Then space your seedlings about 15-20cm apart.
Celery does not grow well in very hot conditions, a heat wave without adequate watering will result in stems becoming tough and stringy.
The type of terrain
Celery likes soils that are able to retain soil moisture and therefore have had compost or organic manure.
