Apium graveolens var. dulce
Product code : WHPER-0034
'Tango' organic celery develops smooth, crunchy, apple-green petioles. It requires steady growth to produce stalks that are pleasant to use in crudités or cooked dishes. The supplier indicates a maturity of 90 days after transplanting; this timeframe varies with growing conditions. Plant in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Steady growth depends in particular on consistent moisture and sufficient space between plants. Prefer cool weather, as the crop is sensitive to bolting. In summer, pay closer attention to watering and adjust the location to account for high heat.

Growing method
Organic 'Tango' celery develops smooth, crisp, apple-green petioles. It requires steady growth to produce stalks that are pleasant to use in crudités or cooked dishes. Begin cultivating 'Organic Tango Celery' in a space prepared for sowing. To start cultivation: Sow indoors 8 to 10 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Sowing depth: 0.3 cm (0.1 in). Recommended spacing: 20 to 30 cm (7.9 to 11.8 in) between plants; 60 cm (23.6 in) between rows. Germination temperature: 18 °C (64 °F). Emergence generally takes 21 to 25 days. This crop requires an early start and consistent moisture. Do not allow young celery plants to suffer a prolonged growth stoppage before transplanting. At the beginning of the season, prepare your equipment and check soil conditions before setting your schedule. Adapt your interventions to the plants' growth stage rather than to a rigid date. After emergence, ensure sufficient light and space out the seedlings to avoid excessive competition. Gradually acclimatize plants intended for the outdoors. During growth, monitor the foliage, moisture, and the potential appearance of pests.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Soil pH
6.0 to 7.0 — general range recommended for the vegetable garden
Watering
Supported
Soil type
'Tango' organic celery: This crop requires an early start and consistent moisture. Do not let young celery plants experience a prolonged growth stunting before transplanting. Use soil or substrate that allows excess water to drain while retaining the moisture necessary for the roots. Work the soil only when it is dry enough to prevent compaction. Remove weeds before planting and adapt organic matter applications to the crop.
Fertilization
Base fertilization on soil fertility, the substrate used, and observed growth. Follow the dosages indicated on the chosen product; increasing applications does not guarantee better results. Pre-enriched potting soil does not require the same interventions as a poor substrate. Avoid placing concentrated fertilizer against seeds or fragile roots. Water according to the manufacturer's instructions and reduce applications when growth slows down.
Moisture
Consistently moist soil, without standing water
Seasonal care
Organic 'Tango' celery develops smooth, crunchy, apple-green petioles. It requires steady growth to produce stalks that are pleasant to use in crudités or cooked dishes. At the start of the season, prepare your equipment and check the soil condition before setting your schedule. Adapt your actions to the stage of the plants rather than to a rigid date. After germination, ensure sufficient light and space out the seedlings to avoid excessive competition. Gradually acclimatize plants intended for the outdoors. During growth, observe the foliage, moisture levels, and the potential appearance of pests. Identify the problem before choosing an intervention. Remove debris that hinders aeration, keep pathways accessible, and re-evaluate watering after rainfall. Note the sowing dates and key results. At the end of the cycle, clean your tools and store the remaining packets in a cool, dry place. These observations allow you to more precisely adjust future sowings for your location. Plant the seedlings in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Regular growth depends in particular on consistent moisture and sufficient space between plants. Prefer cool weather periods when the crop is sensitive to bolting. In summer, pay closer attention to watering and adapt the location to high heat. Weed carefully so as not to disturb the surface roots.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
This crop requires an early start and consistent moisture. Do not let young celery plants experience a prolonged growth stunting before transplanting. Organic 'Tango' celery develops smooth, crunchy, apple-green petioles. It requires steady growth to produce stalks that are pleasant to use raw or in cooked dishes. Place the container in its final location before filling it. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is stable and large enough for root development; a simple closed decorative pot does not allow for water drainage. Use potting soil rather than compact garden soil. Moisten the substrate before sowing or planting, without saturating it. Leave a rim at the top to facilitate watering and maintain space between the plants. Check moisture levels regularly with your finger, as the surface may dry out while the bottom remains moist. Water slowly until water comes out of the holes, then empty the saucer. During hot weather, check the pots more frequently. Fertilize according to the needs of the crop and the instructions for the chosen product. Roots have a limited volume, so container gardening requires different monitoring than growing in open ground. Position any necessary supports during installation. Keep easy access to inspect the leaves, remove damaged parts, and harvest without pulling on the stalks. At the end of the cycle, remove debris and clean the equipment before reuse.

Companion plants
Organize neighboring crops according to their light requirements, height, and space occupied at maturity. Prevent tall plants from permanently shading smaller ones or blocking access for watering. Successive crops can use the same space if the first is harvested before the next one expands. Flowers diversify the garden, but companion planting does not guarantee the absence of pests. Keep enough air between plants and observe the interactions on-site. Use companion planting as an organizational tool, without attributing automatic protection against diseases to it.

Edible parts
Petioles and leaves
Organic 'Tango' celery. For 4 servings, allow 500 g (18 oz) of vegetables, 1 small onion, 15 ml (1 tbsp) of oil, and 60 ml (¼ cup) of water. Prepare a side dish of cooked vegetables with herbs, choosing only the edible parts of the harvest. Wash the vegetables, remove any damaged parts, and cut them into evenly sized pieces. Heat a little oil in a saucepan, add a minced onion, and let it soften over medium heat. Incorporate the firmest vegetables first, then a small amount of water to prevent them from sticking. Cover and continue cooking until they become tender. Add delicate leaves or pieces that cook quickly toward the end. Season with fresh herbs, pepper, and a little salt to taste. Serve with rice, bread, or another cooked grain. Adjust the cooking time according to the vegetable used: the desired textures vary depending on the harvest. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a clean container. This preparation is intended to be consumed as a cooked dish; it is not a method for canning.
