Name: Celery: Tall Utah

Latin Name: Apium graveolens

Description: Celery tall Utah is a vegetable of which the stems and leaves can be eaten. It is rich in nutrients. Tall Utah produces nice, strong celery sticks. Celery seeds need sufficient light to germinate and cannot be sown too deep.

Sowing: February to May

Harvesting: June to October

How To Grow Stick Celery From Seed: Celery seeds do best when started indoors. Using seedling modules or small pots, sow a pinch of Celery seeds in each pot and barely cover with damp compost. Celery seeds need light to germinate so it is important the seeds are barely covered. Place the modules/pots near a window. Germination can take up to 3 weeks. Keep the soil moist during this time.

When the seedlings become established, thin them to leave the strongest one in each pot/cell. Transplant them out to their final spot when all risk of frost has passed and temperatures are reasonable.

Seed count is approximate.

Excellent Germination

Back in Canada, this variety of celery was very easy to find and economical in grocery stores, all year round. When I came to Greece, however, what is sold as "celery" is similar but a different variety - it's more about the leaves than the stems. The variety commonly sold in Greece has almost un-edible stems - very stringy and tasteless.

A few years ago, I came across this "Tall Utah" and had good success growing it over the winter. I was so very happy to have the celery variety that I was used to getting when I lived in Canada.

When I saw that Seeds Ireland also had this "Tall Utah" variety available, it was without hesitation on my part to order the seeds.

I started them on November 27th - a pinch of each in five pots - and by December 5th, every pot had at least two germinating. As soon as they began germinating, I put them under grow lights and they are doing terrific!

I will start more of these in a couple of weeks, and the plan is to have new seedlings into the garden, every two to three weeks so I will have a good supply of celery come spring, and before it gets too hot here to grow it.

So far, I am very happy with these seeds. High rate of germination and how they do will depend on what I do.
