I dug up this celeriac, they are pretty small this year, but they didn't seem to mind being flooded as much as the other veg. This was the biggest one in the row.  By the time I had trimmed it of all its tentacles and peeled it, it was the size of a golfball. 

Pathetic I thought, but no!  I chopped it up and put it in the soup with tons of leek, celery, carrots, onions and it is still the main flavour coming through all the rest.   

Its absolutely gorgeous!
It seems to have more taste than the ones I have bought which are 4 time the size, I'll definitely grow those again next year

Yes, we haven't been keeping them secret.

Well nobody told me that there was such a difference between shop bought and home grown.

I've used them for a couple of years now and I like them, but never thought to grow them until  a fellow plotter gave me some spare plants.

It's a must for next year!

Its one of those veg which has such a flavour improvement between fresh and shop bought.

I don't think I'd even heard of them until three years ago and now we grow enough to last us all winter. I grow some in the polytunnel that get as large as a turnip and are ready mid-summer and several rows outside that range in size from grapefruit size to tennis ball that we've been harvesting for about a month.

I agree that the ones bought in ASDA etc are, by comparison, totally flavourless
