About Celery
Celery is a long-season crop that demands rich, constantly moist soil and a long cool growing period — hard to grow perfectly, but worth it for the flavor.
Start indoors 10-12 weeks before last frost. Blanch stalks by hilling soil or wrapping 2-3 weeks before harvest. Keep soil consistently wet — celery hates drying out.
Gardening in Yukon
Yukon has a subarctic continental climate with extreme cold winters but surprisingly warm and long summer days. Whitehorse is Zone 1b-2a. Some vegetables succeed with cold frames and fast-maturing varieties.
