Mr Fothergills – Vegetable – Celeriac – Neon F1 – 250 Seeds

Large roots for high yields A variety that is known for excellent performance and reliability. The high quality, white fleshed roots can be used raw or cooked. An excellent source of vitamin C Sow indoors, a warm kitchen windowsill is all you need for starting these seeds. Sow 1.5cm deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20oC is ideal. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant to other trays 5cm apart when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 25cm apart in rows 30cm apart. Plant so that the upper swollen part of the root sits on the surface of the soil. Water well and remove outer leaves as roots swell Give plants a liquid feed during summer to increase yields. Roots can be stored in a cool, dry, airy location for several months
