Planting Celeriac

Celeric is grown for a fall harvest, not mid-summer. In February sow seeds indoors 1/8 inch deep in sterile seedling mix; keep soil moist. Transplant 6 to 8 inches apart in rows 18 to 24 inches apart when the weather is warm enough and no chance of frost exists.

Growing Celeriac

Heavy feeder; use a complete fertilize to provide adequate nutrition.

Harvesting and Storing Celeriac

Harvest celeriac as soon as the root-ball reaches about 2 inches in diameter or is large enough to use. Remove from the ground with a garden fork rather than pull them. To store celeriac, cut tops off 2 inches above the root and place in plastic bags to retain moisture; refrigerate. You can store the roots for up to 4 months by burying the roots in damp sand or sawdust at 32-38 degrees F and high humidity.
