okay i have to omit i'm a snob when comes to growing certain veggies, yes celery was one of them.
this spring dw said you have never grown celery.. <sweetie we dont eat enough of it but will give it a try>
yesterday was my first harvest .....oh my goodness what a wonderful celery flavor...
not stringy or watery just a nice crisp pop when eating it...a delicious addition for lunch today..
if you have never grown it, it's worth the time....... <hint if you like bloody marys dice it up adds a whole new flavor to it.>

and finished trimming the garlic scapes will dice them up and sauté with some onions and red bells for the ribeyes.

and tonights dinner will just BLT"S AND FRIES....

@majorcatfish, nice Celery! In publications put out by the University of Alaska for gardeners; they tell us Celery is the hardest thing for Alaskans to grow because bla, bla, bla. So; like you, i gave it a try because we eat Celery every day.
The secret for us is to start it in February because it’s so slow. Seeds go in mid February, under lights and by mid April when i populate the greenhouse it will be 8-10 inches tall. I’ll move 3-6 clumps into the greenhouse and eat off of it till the season ends. It’s the first thing in in the spring and the very last thing taken just as i close down the greenhouse.
