Another challenge I have is celery! Actually, I had this impression that growing celery was going to be a big challenge in terms of germinating them and letting them to grow to a decent size. They were in fact very slow to germinate and to get to a decent size to be transplanted. But since transplanted, my celery plants look pretty nice and healthy. Earlier in the season, I had some aphid problems that killed a couple of plants, but the rest 12 or so plants have survived and been doing well. They are just match-stick thin, though!! I can't figure out how to fatten them up. I have been taking the outer layers off for my daily uses.
Celery does take forever to grow. Your celery looks really good. Just let it grow and the stalks will get bigger.
ReplyDeleteI lost a few plants this past week at the plots. I have no idea what happened to them. Some of the other plants I pulled since they weren't looking all that good. I cut most of it up and froe it for use over the winter.
I am so sorry you lost your plants! Every plant is so different and requires different things... I am definitely learning a lot this year! I think I will give them a little more time. It will be nice to have some in the freezer for the winter!
