I agree with what Bower posted- just wanted to say that I've always staggered celery plantings, starting with an early April plant-out, which means lots of frost and yet I've never seen them bolt. I continue planting through the summer and have celery until the frost and again, I've never had any plants bolt. They've always been dug up in the fall and composted. Varieties I've tried have been: Conquistador, Cutting Celery (yuck- tough, strong skinny little stems), Giant Pascal, Golden Self-Blanching, Utah 52-70, Tango, Victoria, and my favorite for a few years, Ventura.
