Topic: Celery again.

Apart from being decimated - & then some - by slugs, or might it be the wee worms in it? - it's all splitting at the bottom!!

Next year?? = Tim

Oooer Tim.  Doesn't look very tasty does it.  Such a shame.  No one on our site had any success with celery this year for one reason or another.  Fingers crossed for next.

just what mine looks like Tim, first time l have grown celery (trench), seems such a lot of hard work to get nothing out of it at the end of the day. Was really looking forward to some good old fashioned celery with my christmas salad.

Ditto ours, but it still makes absolutely delicious soup, so waste not want not.

Of course, I was stupid to use newspaper to wrap them, it just melts - but would brown paper offer significantly better protection against slugs? = Tim

Wouldn't anything more durable provide more protection for slugs rather than against them?

Wee worms?

Alright - I'll grow self-blanching!! Which did very well this year.

Worms - about 1" & V thin. Composty type? = Tim
