Celeriac, sometimes overlooked in North American vegetable gardens, is a tasty root vegetable that deserves to be better known. Despite its uninviting appearance, it has a mild, earthy flavour that can be enjoyed raw or cooked 
Celeriac needs a long growing season. Start the seeds indoors about 10–12 weeks before the expected last spring frost.
It prefers rich, deep, well-drained soil. Amend the soil with compost before planting.
Sow the seeds about 0.5 cm deep. Keep them at a steady temperature of 21°C until they germinate.
Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them about 30 cm apart.
Celeriac needs regular watering to develop its roots. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Celeriac is a heavy feeder. Apply a potassium-rich organic fertilizer to encourage root development.
Watch for pests such as aphids and slugs. Use organic control methods if necessary.
Celeriac is generally ready to harvest about three to four months after planting. The root should be about 7–10 cm in diameter.
