March 8 -
I thought I would never get the celery to germinate. I can't remember the day it came up but it was probably March 6th and I planted on February 14th.
For my second planting on February 28th, I soaked a bunch of celery seeds in water and placed it on the heat mat for 24 hours. I took MANY seeds (which are the size of a flea's poop) and put half in a peat pellet and half in my favorite rapid rooter tree bark plugs.
Yesterday one germinated in the peat pellet and I see nothing in the plug. I can't believe how fast this one germinated as compared to the first planting.
I started soaking more seeds today for my final planting. I'm thinking I will use the peat pellet for the celery. I'm thinking since the seeds are so tiny they do better in this environment than the large hole in the plug.
