Start your allotment journey with the Thompson & Morgan Celeriac Mars 150 Seeds Packet that promise large, uniform roots and creamy-white flesh, perfect for grating into coleslaw or roasting for a subtle celery-like flavour. Celeriac Mars stands out for its firm texture even at larger sizes and offers good resistance to leaf spot, making it a reliable choice for gardeners. You'll enjoy a harvest from October to November, with roots that store well or can be left in the ground over winter when protected, ensuring a steady supply for your kitchen. How to grow: Sow seeds from February to April 3mm (1/8in) deep in a good seed compost. Germination takes 21-25 days at 20-25C (70-75F). Sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Lower the temperature after germination. When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings individually into 7cm (3in) pots or modules. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out in June 30-35cm (12-15in) apart in full sun and well-drained soil. Keep well-watered especially in dry spells. Hoe regularly and remove any side shoots which may form. Harvest the roots in October-November. In late November lift any remaining and store in damp sand in a cool dry place for winter use.
