Growing Heirloom Tendercrisp Celery Vegetable Garden Seeds
Non-GMO, Heirloom Tendercrisp Celery Growth Habits:
For some, growing celery from seed feels intimidating, partly because celery seeds are slow to germinate, taking up to 3 weeks in some cases. However, with a bit of knowledge about the celery plant's basic needs, growing celery from seed is very achievable for the home gardener and well-worth it for market growers.
Tendercrisp celery seeds should be started indoors 10 to 12 weeks before your last frost date and should be sown on the surface of your starter mix. That's because the seeds require light to germinate. Soaking celery seeds before planting them in starter mix can help with germination rates. The surface of the soil needs to be kept evenly moist while you wait for your celery seeds to germinate.
