Celeriac - growing conditions
« on: June 07, 2010, 08:52 »
Has anyone any experience of growing celeriac in a polytunnel. I do reasonably well with celeriac in the open plots and have a few spare plants and wondered if the polytunnel will be too hot for them if I put the spares in there when the new potatoes come out.
Any thoughts, anyone please. Ditto celery as I have a few plants spare of them as well.

I read somewhere they need plenty of water for the "bulb" to grow :blush:

At the moment though, mine seem to be doing very well outside - they are about 6" tall.

Perhaps I did not make the question clear -- I intend growing celeriac INSIDE in a polytunnel and wonder if anyone has done this sucessfully. My outside plots are all full but my first gaps will appear inside as I lift my earliest potatoes from the PT.

What the secret to getting a good crop - I do think I planted mine out too early they were pretty small and in this heat a large % had shrieveled and died - I did have some seedlings left in the tray so I potted these on today, thought some fresh compost will give them a feed and I will wait til they are bigger before planting out so any tips will be gratefully received as they are my OH's favourite.

Thanks
Missy

I think they'd be ok in the PT but they must get regular waterings so get some kind of irrigation set up or be prepared to water them  :)
