1st Celery of 2013
Here is a picture of the first celery from our garden. This season was the first time I had planted Celery, but so far so good. I’ll probably try it again.
Any other celery growers out there? I’d like to hear about your experiences. What are your tips on growing great celery?

I have grown it from seed and had tiny stalks. Since I am juicing now I am planting the base of the celery. I had one growing and lost it when we had a freeze but have 2 new ones in the ground.

Ours have frozen a couple of times but they are still alive so far. Thanks for stopping by.

Nice celery, Mike. I read on another blog about replanting the base. I’m anxious to try that out, but we have to get through the rest of winter first.

Do you blanch your celery? My grandmother insisted that this always made celery better, but I guess it depends on your taste. Looks delicious…now I have to go the fridge!

Actually, I didn’t even know about blanching until you asked. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks!

Looks amazing. It tastes stronger in my opinion which i like!!

I think “not blanching” does make it taste a bit stronger. Ths for reading.

I wish I had some of that gorgeous celery to use right now…..I’ve been making lots of vegetable/fruit smoothies and most call for celery….and organic celery is NOT cheap!!
