Celeriac in pots to start?
« on: April 01, 2013, 15:57 »
Hi all, and Happy Easter!

Can you start celeriac off in pots and transplant, or is it a no go like carrots and parsnips?

If not, would the loo roll trick work?

I only want about 3-5 plants.
When weeding, the best way to know if its a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull it.

If it comes out easy, it was a valuable plant !

They'll transplant.

I start mine off in a 3" pot, then transplant to seed trays - about 24 to a large tray, then transplant again to their final positions.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I sow into modules, 3 per module, thin to one then transplant at the same level in a month or so. I would grow more than 5 though. Can be a bit hit and miss, some run to seed, some just fail to fill out.

At the same level?

OK, I'll do about 15 and have done them in modules
