Harvesting Celeriac
« on: October 25, 2023, 12:02 »
This is the first year that I have tried growing Celeriac. It has done well but only half have reached a good size. Will the smaller ones keep growing provided that we dont have a hard frost or will I remain with baby celeriac?

I must admit I have never had much success with celeriac, but it does slow down to a crawl at this time of year.

If we have a mild winter, you might be lucky, but more likely the baby celeriac will still be very small.  Light levels and soil temperatures will be low and these surpress growth.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news  :(

I found the same problem, but the bulbs you get are quite concentrated, so you don't need to use much in a salad etc.

Try it in some mixture of cabbage or other greens, and see what it tastes like then - i.e., 'dilute' it!

You may be surprised - we did!
