I guess the peat based fen soil has more water holding abilities perhaps?  And celery is a water loving crop, especially if we want it to be fat and juicy.  Celeriac too can never be watered too much, to produce big heads.

I guess a thickish grass mulch to keep the soil damp might help too.  But I have never tried that, just really thinking aloud how to make my celery thicker, juicier and my celeriacs bigger.

Quote from: Vetivert on January 22, 2025, 20:41:20Hi JanG, is the lettuce Brune d'Hiver a cos or butterhead?

It's a butterhead. I'm hoping it's true. Having grown from my saved seed myself, I just have a little doubt. It should be a butterhead with a slightly red-brown tinge to the outer leaves.
Quote from: galina on January 23, 2025, 12:27:33I have seen it described as a Batavia lettuce.  It is a butterhead, but with crunchier leaves than a 'soft' butterhead. I have seen it listed as a cos too, but this really is not justified when you think of a typical cos, like Lobjoits. 

Sounds wonderful! Can't wait to taste, thank you.
