The crisp stems are stringless with an excellent celery flavour, while good disease tolerance makes this a dependable variety for the home vegetable garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the stalks and leaves are useful in the kitchen. Enjoy the crisp stems fresh in salads and snacks or add them to soups, stews, stir-fries, stocks and sauces. The strongly aromatic leaves make an excellent seasoning and can also be used in stocks, soups and herb salts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to the Mediterranean region, celery has a long history of both food and medicinal use. It was known to the ancient Greeks and Romans and was gradually developed into the fleshy-stemmed vegetable we recognise today through European cultivation. Celery seed also has a long history in Western herbal medicine, particularly as a diuretic and for its traditional use in gout, rheumatic complaints and urinary conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTall Utah prefers cool growing conditions and requires rich soil, generous feeding and consistent moisture to develop tall, succulent stalks. Celery has a shallow root system, so plants should not be allowed to dry out. Individual outer stems can be harvested as required while leaving the centre to continue growing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 400 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Autumn to winter\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Spring and autumn\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Spring to early summer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow the fine seed into trays or punnets, pressing gently onto the surface of moist seed-raising mix and covering only very lightly.
