Celery seeds are tiny and hard to handle. One option to make it easier is mixing the seeds with some clean, fine sand and then dusting the mixture onto the soil surface.
Planting celery seeds
Celery seeds require an even temperature of 70°F and light exposure to germinate, so cover the seeds very lightly with perlite or soil mix.
Transplanting to your garden
Space the plants about eight inches apart in rows two feet apart when low outdoor temperatures are 50 to 55°F, and the seedlings are about five inches tall.
Watering
Keep the plants evenly watered while they grow. Drip irrigation works well because overhead watering can encourage the growth of foliar diseases.
Harvesting
Cut the stem of the entire plant just below where the stalks join.
