My celeriac seeds have sprouted in a propergator in my potting shed. I hope to manage to grow them successfully this year.

Hi Elaine, I hope we both have a good year with our celeriac.

I've tasted celeriac first time some years ago. It is the best tasting root veg I've had. I made a puree of it and served with duck breast and a glaze of red wine and balsamic reduction. My most fancy dish ever for my better halve😂 That root is an underrated vegetable!

@@looneygardener Yes I had heard they need light. I just sprinkled them on the surface then covered them with vermiculite. Mine are doing well. Great germination. A hundred little seedlings probably. Will be pricking them out in a week or so.

So glad you have had success with the celeriac this year! I completely agree that no gardener is perfect. Everyone struggles with something and each year it may be something new haha

So true!

I'm too new to veg growing to say I have a definite veg that I struggle with. Last year my coriander bolted almost immediately so I need to change what I did there in some way. Basil outside for me hasn't been very successful. Either gets munched by slugs or bolts. My plan is to just grow lots and lots and put the basil in a bunch of different places and hope some plants work ok. I've tried Brussel Sprouts twice - once a few years back, and once last year - and both times never got past the seedling stage due to what I now realised were flea beetles. I know now that I need to grow them indoors for much longer and keep them covered with a fine mesh for most of the growing time until Autumn when the flea beetles have come and gone. So hopefully I can do better than the last attempts this season.

Did you know, Karen, that if you let radishes go to seed the long skinny seedpods are absolutely delicious? They taste just like the radish. I'm letting a few of mine go to seed on purpose so I can get those yummy pods. I'm also going to see what they taste like dehydrated.

Thanks Audrey, I get plenty of seedpods so I'll give them a try - then tell everyone that was my plan all along! Dehydrating is a great idea, I'll try that too 🙂

How long did it take from seed to transplant ? Thank you.

Good question; also interested in what that was she put in the bottom of the plant holes, and what was shaken onto the roots prior to putting in? Having been able to grow kiwi & grape on uk south coast, you'd think some delicious celeriac would be easier 😊

celeriac one of the " ugly but beautiful " tasting vegetables . Well done on successfully growing them up to planting out.👏👏👏

Please tell me what you put into the bottom of each hole and what you are shaking onto the roots.

Hi Christine, sorry for my late response. I add mycorrhizal fungi when I transplant my seedlings into the ground. It's a natural occurring fungus in the soil and I find the addition at transplant to get the plants off to a great start. Do not use it on brassicas as they do not respond to it.

I still have some Celeriac patties in the freezer from last year yet Audrey, my wife isn't overly keen on them, but I heat them in the oven and add to mashed potato, boy are they tasty, I'm going to try for an Autumn harvest this year so I'll be sowing seeds shortly...

Hi Stephen, I was able to convert my husband last year, so there is hope! Maybe she'd like them better if they were graded raw into coleslaw or salad? Now that the curse of not being able to grow it has passed, I'm going to start some more this week so they can get a few touches of frost on them to get even tastier. Yum Yum, Audrey

I recently became interested in growing this when I found a recipe suggested in a library spice club. I didn't understand what you added to the soil. Could you print that please? Thank you.

One thing you could try is to up the watering the closer they get. Many times bolting is stress and I have found that a lot of water helps them hold on.

I like to shred it and ferment it. It is very popular in Belgium

Hi Terry, mycorrhizae are fungi that have a symbiotic relationship with the roots of many plants. The fungi which commonly form mycorrhizal relationships with plants are ubiquitous in the soil. It can be purchased in a powder form and I add it to everything I plant except members of the brassica family. Apparently they don't play well with others! Hope that helps.
