Celery requires a long growing season, so start seeds indoors 12–14 weeks before your area’s last frost date. For Zone 5b, February is ideal. The seeds are tiny, so sprinkle them on a soil mix (e.g., coco coir and worm castings), lightly cover with coir, and keep moist. Once sprouted, thin or pot seedlings individually. Keeping them in medium pots until transplanting saves space.

By early May, transplant seedlings to their final spot. Celery thrives in semi-shaded areas, making it perfect for underutilized garden spaces. It also works well as a companion plant with beans, chamomile, cabbages, cucumbers, spinach, and tomatoes.

  2. I plant celery once, i thought i failed at first before replanting, but after replanting and they grow large, i still have that plant in my garden 😂❤

  3. I have never thought to freeze or dehydrate excess celery! That's such a great idea. Did you happen to make a video of the process? 🫶🏾🌻

  4. Homegrown celery always tastes 10x stronger than the grocery store. It's overwhelming to me… Is that just how it tastes or did I do something wrong?😅

  5. What do you do with all the vegetables you grow? Do you preserve or sell excess at a farmers market or do you have a large family?

  6. Celery is a cut and comeback plant, cut the stalks more will grow, perfect if you occasionally need it
