In this week's gardening column, some advice on growing celeriac and the benefits of understanding that looks aren't everything when it comes to veg
Michael Kelly Grower ALTHOUGH CELERIAC IS a relative newcomer in Ireland, I have become a major fan and reckon it deserves far more notoriety than it currently enjoys.
You can use celeriac in any dish that you need to put celery in but it’s tasty enough to stand on its own two feet too. When the seedlings are hardy and about 10cm tall, you plant them out. Celeriac loves constant moisture so a soil with plenty of well-rotted compost or manure added is vital, and it will need a lot of watering in dry weather.
Start collecting old plastic bottles and containers as cloches and covers, and collect toilet roll inserts to use as pots for sowing.January is a lean month in your first few years of GIYing and it requires foresight the previous spring/summer to ensure that you have things worth eating at this time of the year.
