Growing Organic Red Stalk Giant Celery in the Vegetable Garden
Start indoors 8-12 weeks before last frost; press seed into surface or barely cover as seeds need light. Transplant when nights are above 50 F into rich, moist soil. Space 8-12 inches in rows 24-36 inches; mulch to conserve moisture.
Provide steady water and fertility. Avoid temperature dips during hardening off to reduce bolting. A bit of afternoon shade in hot climates helps maintain tenderness and color.
Harvesting of Organic Red Stalk Giant Celery
Cut outside stalks as needed once plants size up, or harvest whole heads at peak size and color. Rinse and chill promptly. Flavor improves with cool weather and light frosts.
