Planted some Celeriac in a seed tray in some ten year old compost,
lots of seedlings have appeared, which ones are likely to be the
Celeriac and which are weeds?

That tray beside it - you know - the one with just the old compost
and nothing you have sowed. Compare the two. You may have to wait for
the second pair of leaves though (it's a little hard to tell seedings
from each other when they only have the cotyledons (or whatever they
are called - the first pair of leaves).

Yes, I know. Next time eh?

Taste them! Yes, that is a destructive test, but doing so on a sample
of thinnings will tell you what celaric seedlings look like.

All right - you may include some celery seedlings by accident :-)
