Description
Celery is a long-season crop that can be tricky to grow, some might say, the trickiest of all. 1 packet contains 100 seeds of celery.
Celery will not tolerate heat and can be hard to transplant. Summer crops in the north and winter crops in the south make celery a year-round producer. All the work is worth it when you harvest crunchy, green stalks.
