I've bought Celeriac plug plants this year to try to catch up but I expect the woodlice will still hollow them out before I can harvest them 😀Jayjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10948095798792480101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-4821047712610906972016-06-04T15:04:26.405+01:002016-06-04T15:04:26.405+01:00No, mine did not die back much.

To be fair, we had a pretty mild Winter and it probably would not survive a prolonged sub-zero patch.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-61903946683897794942016-06-04T15:01:56.122+01:002016-06-04T15:01:56.122+01:00It's worth a try, surely?It's worth a try, surely?Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-88142227379191484812016-06-04T13:42:06.797+01:002016-06-04T13:42:06.797+01:00Did your leaf celery die back during the winter?

It's a lovely big plant, something I wouldn't mind growing in the front of the house.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-8733498720204082462016-06-04T12:32:22.819+01:002016-06-04T12:32:22.819+01:00We are the opposite in our house - we enjoy celery...We are the opposite in our house - we enjoy celery stalks, esp. raw, but not the leaves, which usually end up in the compost. I've never used the leaves to add flavour to soups. I'm wondering if they would add the savouriness that you refer to as they are likely much milder in flavour than cutting celery.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
