Tall Utah celery is a variety of celery known for its tall, thick stalks and strong, robust flavor. Our variety available here is certified as organic.
To grow Tall Utah Celery, you will need:
- Rich, well-drained, fertile soil
- Cool temperatures (60-65F is ideal)
- Partial shade
- Seeds or seedlings
Growing Instructions:
-
Prepare the soil by tilling or digging to a depth of at least 8 inches. Add compost or other organic matter to improve the soil's fertility.
-
Sow the seeds or transplant seedlings in the early spring, or in the fall in mild climates. Space the plants about 6 inches apart, and cover with 1/4 inch of soil.
-
Water the celery regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
-
Fertilize the celery with an organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
-
As the celery starts to grow, mound soil up around the base of the stalks to blanch them and make them more tender.
-
Harvest the celery when the stalks are thick and mature, usually about 70-80 days after planting.
