~ CELERY Seed ~ 'Full White' Self-blanching Celery A nice white celery. The upright plants are vigorous, and grow on well, needing little or no earthing up to give a nicely blanched & mild-tasting interior. We are always very busy in the gardens, and so we like to grow crops that need the minimum of work to get a good result. So we were very pleased to find this self-blanching variety of celery which really is tender and mild without any attention at all. The one Ben is holding in the picture was not earthed up at all, though we tied it loosely with a bit of hessian twine towards the end (partly because it was getting so big), and we think that it has come out really well for so little work! Some people like to pack straw around the plants to enhance the self-blanching effect further. Stands well, ready from October. This variety is actually an Italian strain, but we have found that it does very well in the UK, even in the damp and humid bits of Wales! White self-blanching var. Order CeFW - 600 seed £1.25 'Giant Red' Celery We are pleased to add this one to the 2008 catalogue . After many years we have found a really good and vigorous red celery to add to our collection. This is a new version of the traditional Giant Red type, bred specially for home gardeners. This deep red celery was bred from several traditional European red and pink varieties by Frank Morton. He let the best plants cross and selected for reddest colour , big size, cold resistance, and best flavour. We don't trench this variety, as we want to enjoy the deep pinky-red stems. As with the Full White, tie up with twine and pack straw around the plants to get the best tight heads for eating raw. Deep red stems, big plants Order CeGR - 400 seed £1.54
