We grow nice celery plants but our celeriac has left much to be desired...especially last year.

I do have to say though that even though I am away from home for a few days at present, I did have the foresight to check the weather forecast and I did cover my Celeriac plants with a layer of fleece before leaving home - for which I expect they were very grateful last night.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-87617798519159456952011-05-04T16:56:31.953+01:002011-05-04T16:56:31.953+01:00Good luck Mark!
