A native of the boglands of Eurasia, celery was well known in the middle Ages as a medicinal plant, but it wasn't used as food until much later.
The original celery was a biennial that grew in damp, marshy areas and had a pungent, medicinal flavor. Due to its unpleasant taste, it was not used as a vegetable until the Italians and French developed a sweeter tasting, thicker stalked variety in the 1500s.

Planting Instructions
Indoors: 10-12 weeks before last frost sow seeds thinly on the soil surface, tamping seeds down lightly. Keep soil evenly moist during germination, which takes 10-20 days at 55-75F soil temperature. When seedlings have 2 true leaves, transplant into small pots. Harden off by cutting back on water and do not chill plant below 55F, as cold temperatures will cause seedlings to bolt. Transplant to garden in full sun or light shade after all danger of frost is past, spacing 6-8" apart, in rows 2-3' apart. As seedlings grow, cover base and stalks with soil to blanch the stalks. Blanching makes for a milder flavor.
Outdoors:Sow as above in April or May, after all danger of frost has passed.
