Celery is more a cool weather crop. If you built a shade house it might work. Say with 30 or 50% shade cloth. Some plants need cool weather to grow but still need sun light also.. Also the weather conditions are important. Like heat waves and very heavy rain down pours. We have had 5" of rain at the start of Oct and then another 12" last week. 17" when the average is 2.5" for Oct. You can only try it to find out.

It is not so much, cover the stalks but protect the side stalks. Celery is best grown close to each other in rows. This then blocks out the sun from the side stalks. With lots of sunlight the side stalks become very green and bitter. Usually you trim these off the plants when harvesting them. Or protect the sides from the sun and then you can eat these stalks also. It is ridicules what nurseries and Bunnings etc sell in the wrong time of the year. Go to "Seed Collection Pty Ltd" and find their planting guide for Veg, flowers, herbs.

We are going into summer here in the south of australia and my celery plants are starting to bolt? Do you find this happens when things warm up? I thought they liked it warm and moist? Or have I got my seasons mixed up?

finally I have a garden after 33 years in an apartment! I am trying sooooo hard to grow something in my long awaiting garden but the lettuce hasn't made it, the rocket hasn't made it and I can kind of see a pin head broccoli shooting through. But I don't even know what 'plant in' or 'plant out' means? My 2 year old granddaughter planted a garlic clove in with the broccoli and lettuce and hers shooted up but mine of course was a no show, she even planted them upside down, here help please, did I start too big?

Some of my celery stalks are a bit hollow, anyone know what causes this?
