I finally cut some Celery! It looks beautiful, doesn't it?
But sadly, only two stalks of this entire plant were edible. Most the inside of the stems were pithy and white, only a few nice and green.
The flavor is very strong, too, almost too much. I should have blanched them. Too late now.
I reeeeealy want to try celery!! We use so much of it in our cooking here. Instead of the typical trinity of onions, bell pepper and carrots that most use, in New Orleans it's onions, bell pepper and CELERY! So I think I may try growing celery soon.
ReplyDeleteI love the taste of fresh celery.
