celeries

My Celery patch is steadily growing and growing. From a low eye level it looks like a celery forest. The plants are just about eight inches tall now. They grow so slowly! But at the same time are so carefree. Because they're in a damp spot I almost never water them, and they never flinch. Critters don't seem to bother them either, and the foliage is thick enough it crowds out most weeds. So all I do is patiently watch them leaf out, give them a bit of compost when I feed the other plants, and focus on the veggies that need more tending. It will probably be fall before I can crunch into a fresh celery stalk!
