Celery

Last year I h

ad three celery plants.  Miraculously, they overwintered.  Perhaps it's because they're grown here in NJ.  In the old days, around Jersey City, NJ, there was a town called Celeryville.  It needs lots of water and a long, cool growing season.  Its roots are very shallow, so it isn't happy when it runs dry.  The stalks get stringy.  This spring, my celery came back and as I was weeding around it, I noticed that it had lots of bunches.  I thought I would take a few out and replant.  They seem to be doing fine, next to the potatoes.
