Hi Charles
I attended a day course at the end of September last year and you had some wonderful celery which I think was a variety you could cca
I unfortunately didn’t make a note of it’s name. I haven’t grown celery before and wondered if it possible to harvest most celery varieties by picking individual sticks instead of cutting a whole head of celery? Could you give me some advice and variety suggestions?Hello Eileen,
It was Tall Green Utah and I had cut the main stalk, leaving sideshoots growing out of its base which made smaller mini-hearts after about four weeks. The second harvest was worthwhile, but quite sluggy it must be said. Picking individual stalks is worth trying, I have not done that.
There is a variety called Leaf Celery but it is a little more stringy and strong-flavoured, good for soups and stews and it can overwinter in a polytunnel if frost is not too severe, sow in early September.Dear Eileen. I also tried Tall Green Utah last summer. Very easy to grow and SO GOOD TO EAT !!! all sweet, even my grandchild asked for it every time he came to us. This year I am planting 30 Tall Green Utah, it is so good to eat
