Celery [View all]

Hello - I would like to grow celery this year and was wondering if anyone had advice. I have heard that the leaves are just as good for cooking as the stalks. Should I look for a plant or can I start from seed? How hardy is it?

Thanks!

You probably already know this, but good nurseries will have the plants at the right time of year Gormy Cuss Dec 2011 #4

If you can find the plants, go for it. Celery has a REALLY long season and if you use seeds,.... HopeHoops Dec 2011 #2
