celery versus celeriac
« on: May 02, 2014, 13:06 »
Hullo fellow gardeners.


I bought some celeriac and green celery plants off this market and intend to plant them this evening. The problem is I forgot to ask the seller to mark which is which on the plastic bags. Does  anyone know how differentiate the two plants please?


The one lot is smaller and lighter green, does that offer any clues.

I have to say my celeriacs were unsuccessful last year althought I pampered. Unlike the year before when I thought I was growing celery and I ended up with some quite biggest celeriac

They'd need to grow a bit bigger to tell the difference. I find celeriac has 'drier' looking stalks, not so green or something I'd want to eat.

I've just looked at mine and the celeriac are a slightly darker green could just be the variety though.
