How To Transplant Seedlings
In the gardening world, transplanting means to move seeds from one spot to another, and it is a crucial step in ensuring they develop into healthy and mature plants when they are ready to move from inside, to outside.
The first step is choosing the best place to plant these seedlings outside. Choose a sunny spot with soil that drains well. Prepare the soil for planting by enriching with with organic matter (compost or manure).
Once it gets to about two weeks before the frost has passed, and the seeds are ready to be transplanted, gradually expose the seedlings to the outdoor conditions.
In the UK, the last frost date is usually around late May to early June in the UK. Plan to space your seedlings about 30cm (12 inches) apart in rows 30-40cm (12-16 inches) apart to give each plant enough room to grow.
Before transplanting, water the seedling trays thoroughly, this will help to reduce the shock of being moved. When it's time to move them, carefully take the seedling from the pots and trays (handle from the leaves to avoid damage to the stems) and plant each seed it its prepared hole. Ensure the roots are covered by firming the soil around each plant.
When to Harvest Celeriac
Celeriac, also known as celery root, requires a long growing season and is typically ready to harvest from late autumn through early spring.
Celeriac needs approximately 7-8 months to mature. If you planted your seedlings in late May to early June, you can expect to start harvesting around October. In the UK, celeriac can be harvested from October to March, making it an excellent crop for late autumn and winter harvests.
Celeriac roots are ready to harvest when they reach about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) in diameter. The exact size can vary based on the variety you are growing. Look for roots that are firm and free from blemishes. The tops of the roots should be visible above the soil line, and the foliage will likely start to yellow and die back as the roots mature.
Celery Leaf Spot
Celery Leaf Spot, also known as Septoria leaf spot, is a common fungal disease affecting celeriac (celery root) and celery. The disease is caused by the fungus Septoria apiicola and can significantly impact plant health and yield if not managed properly. .
