Grow Tender Celery, Watering, Blanching & No Dig

Celery grows best where surface moisture is abundant, to grow crisp stems with less stringy fibres. Frequent watering is better than occasional soaks, and it's one vegetable that I never skimp on when watering, because the more you give it the lusher and crisper are the plants. Raise plants indoors: sow seed on the surface of compost in a seed tray and cover with glass to retain moisture. Water with a fine rose about once a week. Seedlings need two weeks to germinate, and you can prick them into 3cm (1") modules, after two to three weeks. Lay a mesh cover over new plantings, to keep aphids away and give faster growth. Celery tastes better for some blanching to reduce its bitterness. Self-blanching works by close planting to exclude light around stems, with a dense canopy of leaves above them. Blanching with ridges of soil is messy, time consuming, not no dig, and results in extra slug holes. In this video I share practical tips on growing tender celery in a no dig garden — from sowing seed and steady watering, to mesh protection and simple self-blanching methods for crisp, flavourful stems.
