Growing Celery Plants For Early Spring and Autumn Harvests
Gardeners sow celery seed in March or April under grass, transplant in May, and market from September to December. A second crop can be sown in April or May. Lettuce or early beets may be grown between rows on rich, moist ground. Blanching and shading techniques use boards and earth to protect plants.
Pruning Roots When Transplanting Trees
When setting trees trim bruised roots with a sharp knife leaving a smooth edge that will heal rapidly and grow new roots. A broken root decays and harms the tree. If roots are lost proportionally reduce the top to balance the tree. If few roots were removed only thin the top to restore symmetry.
