From northern California:

All the books say celery is hard to grow. I thought I'd take a flyer.

Nine weeks ago I planted four small plants from the nursery and they appear
to be doing fine. They have been well watered and fed. Each plant has about
twenty stalks 12-15 inches high. The diameter of each stalk is quite small
and is not terribly tender.

Are things on track? What should I be doing?


Sounds okay. This is my first summer with celery and I love it. It's
turning out to be one of the easier ones to grow. I planted them in May
and I'm cracking off a stalk a day to add to my salad. They're delicious.
