Golden Asti Celery

Here are some short tips for seeding Golden Asti Celery seeds:

1. Start Early: Sow seeds indoors 10-12 weeks before the last frost date, as celery has a long growing season.

2. Soil: Use well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Enrich the soil with compost for better nutrient availability.

3. Sowing Depth: Sprinkle seeds on the surface and gently press them into the soil (don’t cover them, as they need light to germinate). Keep the soil moist.

4. Temperature: Maintain soil temperatures between 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination. Celery needs consistent moisture and warmth to sprout.

5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy. Celery requires regular watering to prevent stress and bolting.

6. Sunlight: Provide full sun or partial shade. Celery needs at least 6 hours of sunlight daily but benefits from some afternoon shade in hot climates.

7. Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have 2-3 sets of leaves and the danger of frost has passed.

8. Spacing: Space celery plants 8-10 inches apart to allow room for the stalks to grow tall.

9. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost regularly to support healthy growth, especially when plants start to mature.

10. Pest Control: Watch for pests like aphids and slugs. Use organic methods such as neem oil or diatomaceous earth if needed.

Happy growing!
