The time has finally come - the young celery plants have been bought from the gardener or have been grown in the house since February. Now they should get their final place in the garden bed. So that tubers and perennials can develop sufficiently, a sufficient planting distance must be maintained.
At least 30 cm space for the celeriac
They should be large, round tubers with a brown, yellow or white skin. So that the tuber can develop well, the celeriac is placed at a distance of 30 to 40 cm.
Variable celery stick
A planting distance of 30 x 30 cm is also ideal for celery. This gives the celery enough space to develop strong leaf stalks. Broad-growing varieties can be set to 40 x 40 cm so that the leaves do not touch.
Frugal cut celery
The cut celery is a little more space-saving. He gets by with a distance of 20 to 25 cm.
tips and tricks
The space between the celery plants is good for growing radishes and lettuce. This brings a double yield for the bed and the time until the celery harvest goes by faster.
