they are certainly tender as baby plants - the adults right now are quite hardy - though i have covered them with bracken now... - i only harvest when i need them.

I reckon I have about 50 in theory, but I have not harvested any yes, as they seem so tiny ...

For the first year ever, I managed to get usable roots of Celeriac, but I sowed the seed early under cover, and then transplanted them, and that seems to have made the difference this year.

I have just inspected my celeriac after the recent frosts, and the foliage is not affected. They must be much tougher than I thought. By comparison, my celery, even though it was protected by fleece, was completely wrecked by the frost.

Celery - self-blanching? If so, then yes!
