Celery is more accurately thought of as an annual in vegetable gardens, even though it is actually a biannual. It shares a family tree with dill, parsley, and carrots, the Apiaceae. For optimal growth, celery requires a longer growing season, consistent precipitation, and cooler weather.

Celery thrives in loamy, slightly acidic, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.8, so be sure to prepare the soil and the site accordingly. Put a lot of organic stuff, like compost, into the soil to make it more fertile and stronger.
