Celery needs light to germinate, so sow the seeds very shallowly. In Quebec, sow indoors, then moisten and cover with clear plastic. When the celery leaves start to emerge, remove the plastic lid and place the container in a sunny location, always keeping the soil moist. When there are two true leaves, transplant outdoors when the soil has warmed up, overnight temperatures were above 5 °C and that all risk of frost has passed. Celery contains a lot of water.
