Pond PLant question: water celery
When can you harvest it for salads?
JUST KIDDING!! In 6 months or so, my water celery has stayed a smallish plant. I had it in rocks in a pot and the roots grew out over the top into the water. I repotted it in soil with gravel and rocks on top and the roots, again, came out of the top in abundance. That's great that the roots are so happy, but how do i get the leaves to grow? Thanks. |

You can just let it be in the water. The roots will grow, and the top. See
if summer does not help. Ours is now trying to come up next to the pond, through the dirt! And, yes, you can eat it.

When the weather warms up, I have trouble keeping it under control. I cut it every other week. Mine is just starting to take off. The water celery that has sprung up along side the pond seems to be growing faster at the moment. -- Bonnie NJ http://home.earthlink.net/~maebe43/ |

We are mowing it where it hits grass and pulling it in the shrubs. Thus
far, we are ahead. -- ______________________________________________ See our pond at: home.bellsouth.net\p\pwp-jameshurley Check out Jog-A-Thon fundraiser (clears $140+ per child) at: jogathon.net ______________________________________________ "Bonnie Espenshade" wrote in message ...

Pond PLant question: water celery
Hi GD,
Yep. The water celery seems also to be a terrestrial. It comes out and sends runners under the rocks. It surfaces on the berm behind the veggie pond/fileters. In the hot summer, it does poorly on the berm. In the spring, it thrives. The mower does the trick. Want some?

I don't need any, thanks. What you call water celery mustn't be what
I call water celery. Vallisneria americana does not survive out of water. Got pictures? "Phyllis and Jim Hurley" wrote: Hi GD, Yep. The water celery seems also to be a terrestrial.

It is not Vallisneria americana. I used to grow that in my fish tanks. No
way that escapes onto the lawn!
