Utah Green Celery

I started with six 1" starter plants of 'Utah Green' Celery from Al's Garden Center. I planted the celery directly into the garden with 6" between each plant in a single row (I didn't have room for a double row as suggested, so we will see what happens). This variety of celery is a tall, upright celery with crisp 10" stalks. (right) My celery on Day 23.

• Day 1 (05.25.09): Planted 1" starter plants into the garden.
• Day 23 (06.16.09): Plants are about 4" tall and leafy.
• Day 40 (07.03.09): Plants are getting more leafy and are about 6" tall.

Growing Tips: Celery prefers full sun and water 2-3 times per week until established. Plant 6" - 8" apart in double rows spaced 30" apart.

Harvesting: Celery is ready for harvest in 100 days when stalks are 10" tall.
