Default Celery in my garden

Hi,
Our local store had celery to plant in the garden and so I did this
year. However, I am not sure what to look for to determine if it is
ready or not. I was told by someone that it is similiar to carrots
and that the celery itself would grow underground, I was told by
someone else that isn't the case. In any case, I am not seeing what
looks like celery under the ground or above it. Any thoughts?



The stalks will be growing above ground though if they are not kept in a
moist environment they may not produce well.

There is a type of celery called "cutting celery" that does not produce
stalks...the leaves are used in salads.
