Celeriac
« on: November 10, 2009, 18:22 »
Any ideas why my celeriac failed to swell into a sizeable root (again!) The celery growing alongside also failed to produce anything much above pencil size stalks.
I'd grown them from seed in the greenhouse but both were very slow to germinate - perhaps that knocked their growing season back?

Both celariac and celary need a long growing season and lots of water. If you are in a part of the country that has experienced drought this year that may be the problem.

PS. Please put a location in your profile. County will do.
