- SPRING

- After all the winter flooding
the blossom on the fruit trees has been glorious this Spring.

pear; and centre stage is our storeman Steve who we couldn't
do without.

Spring glory.
- HOW TO PLANT AND GROW CELERIAC
-
- The seed is very fine and should
be sown in a small seed tray about the beginning of March in
gentle warmth in doors if like me you have a cold greenhouse.
When the seedlings are large enough to handle, prick out into
modules and then into 3" pots as below. I will show the
next stage when they are ready for planting out in May.

-
-
- Plants set out about 9"
apart - well watered and mulched with rotted compost to keep
the roots cool and moisture in. Celeriac is quite shallow rooted
so unless the weather is very dry in which case keep well watered
they will not need any more attention now until the roots start
to swell.
-
- As the roots start to swell in August start to
remove the lower leaves. I do this by by taking off the ones
that bend themselves down. This encourages to root to swell.
Plants will need checking over quite regularly now through to
the end of September when roots should be large enough to start harvesting.
They will stand well into the winter months.
