Celery picking

From the moment when the first shoots of celery appear, and before the harvest, a lot of time passes, during which truck farmers tirelessly take care of their green plantations. To get a good result you need to know how to dive the celery, if it was sown in ordinary boxes or bowls.

If a person wants to get a really good harvest, then the question is whether to dive the celery does not even arise, since with dense sowings nothing outstanding can be grown, be it stem or root celery. The only situation. When picking is not required - if the plants are initially planted individually in separate containers.

Primer for picks

Planting and picking celery is carried out in the same soil, which should be quite loose and breathable. It is very important that the land in which the picking takes place is practically dry, or watered the day before the work is done. Thus, the rootlets are less injured during the squeezing of their soil.

Celery sprouting of celery

You can start picking celery when the second pair of leaves grows well. This occurs about the third week after emergence, but depending on the conditions of cultivation may be a little earlier or later. The second pair of leaves indicates that the spine has already developed enough to transfer the transplant.

When the soil is already covered and tamped into individual cups or cassettes, depressions are made with a pencil or just an index finger, about 2 cm deep.

With the help of a coffee spoon or toothpicks, the plants are neatly separated from each other. Do not try to leave a lump of soil with the root - the plant and so well will transfer the pick, if not deliberately damage the root.

Gently lowering the spine into the hole almost to the level of the cotyledon leaves, two fingers slightly squeeze the stem, compact the soil around. After all the plants are transplanted, intensive soil and seedling moistening is carried out with a small sprayer and the containers are placed closer to the sunlight or the phytolamp .
