Celery Success!

Well, I should probably rename this blog the Accidental Gardener. I planted an organic celery plant that I started in a bowl of water in my kitchen (slice off the bottom with a bit of the root stock still attached) after the roots sprouted a few years back. One of the plants went to seed so now I have celery volunteers throughout the garden. No worries; they start small and grow slowly. I believe the term is naturalization. Well, I had a plethera of them this year and because of our newly extended growing season I have had a bumper crop! I harvested a few pounds of them today and some of them are almost as big as the store bought ones. Man, these are SO flavorful! There is NO comparison to the store bought variety!
