Since 2003 I have never gone a whole month without posting, yet here I am on the last day of the month without my first September post. I guess gardening is a repetitive process but there is always some novelty to report on. This month it is harvesting my first celery. As you can see from the brick it is not massive. More suitable for soup than salad. That's alright with me, as I don't like celery raw.
There are a few of them planted closely together to aid the supposed self blanching. The variety is Victoria.
There I've saved myself from a September duck!
Best thing about growing celery is the wonderful fresh odor when you go outside!
ReplyDeleteWe have lavender flopping over our path which is very aromatic.
DeleteOoh yes, the smell of celery I love it. And it’s such a lovely flavour added to roast veg or soup, but it’s so hard to grow!
ReplyDeleteHave missed your posts and songs.
Yes it is a good super. Lovage is too, but it is just too strong for me!
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the plants that we have never succeeded with.
ReplyDeleteBoth celery and celeriac are challenging in my book. It seems they like marshy conditions but lots of nutrition too! I will crack it... next year! How are you getting on with your mooli?
