Vegetables
Celeriac 'Mars'
Gnarled looking Celeriac has a delicate taste, somewhere between celery and parsley. Try it raw shaved into a salad, mashed, slow roasted, in soup or French style in a remoulade sauce. Delightful mixed with potato, kumara or butternut.
Position
Full sun.
Sow
Raise in trays of Yates® Black Magic® Seed Raising Mix, or sow direct where they are to grow. Cover with mix, firm down and keep moist. Transplant after 4-6 weeks.
Care
Plant in a well-drained, sunny position adding Yates® Thrive® Natural Blood & Bone to the soil before planting. Water regularly and apply fish-based fertiliser weekly. Protect from snails and slugs.
Tips
Water frequently and regularly – celeriac demands a lot of moisture. Apply mulch around the roots in dry weather, to help keep the soil moist.
