Anyone Ever Grown Celery In A Home Garden??

rnewste · June 1, 2011

I just used the "Search" function here, and after reading 4 pages of Posts, I can't find any Threads of TV members successfully growing their own Celery in a home garden. What prompts my question is that I just returned from the local Safeway, and their celery is selling for $2.50 for a small bunch of stalks today.

That, coupled with the contamination concern I have when looking at all that dirt inside store-bought celery stalks, and where this stuff was grown / fertilized has prompted me to research if I can grow my own celery. I am currently growing carrots in EarthTainers with pretty decent results:

So, does anyone have recommendations as to the considerations to be researched when growing celery? Cool weather (Spring) or warm weather crop? Moisture requirements? Varieties that you have had success with, etc.

thanks,

Raybo
