I just wanted to say that with your celery you can take a sharp knife and remove all the outer pieces - same way you harvest parsley. New stalks will emerge and you can continue to harvest them around the outside of the plant. I do that and have the same plants for 2 years, then they tend to go to seed. Maybe they're like carrots in that way? Anyway, if the ratty celery is still there, might be worth a go? Have you had a chance to get out there Libby?

This is one area I intend to really get into this year. But the disappointmants like this really make you wonder if all the hard work (and water) are worth it. What a shame Libby.

I can't wait to get planting this year. I was never interested in growing your own veg until I started reading food blogs. Oh no your poor veggie garden. I can’t wait to get planting this year.
