Instruction
1. The quality of seeds of celery can be increased thanks to "endurance": it is better that before landing they have lain down three or four years. Then seeds of petiolar celery are recommended to be processed fungicide that later the plant has not ached with bacterial spottiness of leaves. It is worth sowing seeds less often. It is possible to place them on bed at once. It is possible to sow seeds in containers, to put them to the warm place and to transfer to kitchen garden in several weeks. It is necessary to plant celery seedling after frosts. At the same time it is desirable that during this period height of plants was 5 – 7 cm.
2. It is impossible to grow up celery near parsnip: in this case both plants can suffer from celery fly. The petiolar celery loves well trained and fertilized earth. The constant soil dampness is of great importance for development of plant (only at the same time it is important to avoid flooding of roots). The soil is required to be mulched, it is the best of all – straw.
3. On bed of plant it is necessary to place at distance 20 cm from each other. Each ten days petiolar celery it is necessary to feed up liquid fertilizer (for example, nettle infusion). Rub – four times during the season need to be loosened beds.
4. When the celery grows to 45 cm, its scapes should be "packed" into dark paper, and to tie from above with thread or to put on elastic band. Instead of paper for binding it is possible to take high glasses from under dairy products (in this case it is necessary to cut off bottom at glass, to put on it petiolar celery – wide part to the earth, to prikopat and hill). The upper part of plant - about 15 cm – in all cases has to remain free. Thus in 12 – 14 days the scapes are cleaned, become juicy and gentle – that is become suitable in food.
5. Before frosts the petiolar celery is dug out, carried away to the damp and cool place and again put on the next year.
