When to plantAfter all chances of frost have passed or sixty days before your first fall frost.  For early crops in the spring, you can transplant when the soil reaches fifty degrees Fahrenheit and cover them to protect from frost.  In the fall they will tolerate light frosts and the crop can be covered to maintain them until a deep freeze.   Spring and summer plantings are fine in the northern part of the US, but in the central to southern regions it gets too hot, but you either can grow them in a shaded area with regular irrigation or wait until the fall to plant.  In hot areas celery tends to develop hollow heart because the calcium uptake is better at cooler temperatures; shading helps with this issue.
