Celery

I went to Aldi's last Thursday as the Celery seed I had sown did not appear to be doing anything, I bought a six pack of Celery plug plants for £1.99, job done!

Looking closely at them when I got home I noticed there where many plants in each plug, so I carefully seperated them and replanted them....from 6 plants I now have 40!



Bargain!

Steve...

 

Wow. That's less than 5 pence each. That's SOME bargain. They look lovely and full of such promise for their future. I can smell them from down here in Battle!!

 

Nice one SteveI haven't grown celery ,always been a bit scared of this wrapping the stems thingy ...are they as complicated as i'm making out...i grow celeriac but might give the old celery ago if i can find a space

 

No wrapping required...self blanching variety!

Steve...

There's always space!

 

Ah...in that case

 

Are they self blanching celery? If grown out in the open I've found that a 450mm high min fabric screen around the bed makes all the difference to the quality of the celery plants.

is it too late to start some off now ?

 

Check the back of the packet, but you should be OK - but they grow slowly, initially, so I like to start mine at the "start" of the recommended period, so best to get your skates on

 

i would but someone stole them, that and a very kind lady says she has enough to share with me

 

Bargain Steve

I'm growing some in the coldframe, idea being that the walls will help blanch it like it did the Rhubarb last year.

 

Skates or Celery Kaz?
