In Phoenix AZ celery is grown as a cool-season crop, sow in the fall
(October or early November) and harvest in February or March. We have some
pretty cool weather in December and January with occasional light frosts but
I have not seen it bolt due to cold as suggested in some posts. It usually
begins to bolt to seed in March due to the higher temps. -Olin
