Am I too late to grow celery from seed?
If not any tips on what to buy and how to best grow it would be great?
During a visit to the lotty today OH decided she would like to grow some :?

I've got some seedlings on the go. Sowed them back in feb, I think. They're still really tiny. It's the first time I've tried them, so I don't know if they usually take this long to get any growth on.

They're a self blanching type, so don't need trenched. You're welcome to some seed if you want some.

Thanks for the offer love-my-plot, but have got to go to the GC tomorrow to get some lettuce seeds so will get some them (if not too late to plant)
but thanks anyway

I potted mine on this morning and they are not very big at all,they are realy slow growers but once they go outside in june theres no stopping them,your looking at 2 weeks for them to germinate.

Thanks for that info about their growth, Shaun. I wasn't sure what to expect as I haven't grown them before. Hopefully they'll take off when they get planted out

As Shaun says, very slow growth, would also advise on young plants at this time of year.

Even if they would do a bit of a catching up, there is no chance having joy with small seedlings planted out, such a slug favourite they also are.
