celery

Harvested celery. I simply cut most of the bunches off, leaving about six small ones in the ground, and brought them inside. It was a huge heap on my table

but after chopping for compost all the pithy ones and saving aside the good green stems, I was left with this:

Pretty pathetic. The good stems were for the most part right in the center of the plants; I only got one or two, at most three, off each bunch. Flavor too strong to eat raw, I just use them for cooking. Next year definitely going to try blanching the plants so I get better taste.
