Return of the Celery?
Comments (3)That kind is a lot closer to the wild plant than the vegetable type grown for the supermarkets, and it is hardier. They routinely overwinter here. You can continue to harvest the new leaves and even the young tender stems for soups, salads, etc. Eventually, they'll make nice flower heads and ripen a crop of celery seeds that you can use to replant or harvest for the spice rack....See MoreCelery Questions
Comments (6)A couple observations - (Followed the directions I have from a National Gardening Association Editors article.) Who knows what that means? I planted then a bit deeper than they were in the pots. Maybe too deep? The plants are mulched and have sufficient water. Maybe to wet? I grow my celery with lettuce and seldom water either.

Comments (6)This may not be helpful, but will offer it for what it is worth. I use peat moss and compost mixture, mainly for starting my seedlings. It worked well up until recently. I was storing the peat moss in a covered garbage-type container, with a tight cover outside. I noticed some yellowish material on the peat, but thought nothing of it. When later my seedlings - started inside under lights - began to show mold growth, I attributed it to the yellowish material in the peat. For my next batch of seedlings, I dried the peat thoroughly in the hot sun before adding it to my compost, that seemed to cure the mold fungus problem. I would use a bit less peat in my outside planters. If it dries out, it is difficult to re-hydrate. As celery likes lots of water, it may be that the peat is not absorbing the water or holding it - masking the soils water-retention ability. Just my 2 c's.
