Are you kidding, with six cats I was lucky to get some... they can eat
faster than I can slice... I think they ate more than half.
My cauliflower and cabbage were small this year but still very good.
But my first attempt at growing celery surprised me, what a difference
from store bought, a rich aroma, remarkable flavor, and it's the
crunchiest! And I have five more still in the ground. Now I need to
perfect my celery growing, I need to plant them much closer together,
I found out that they grow more compact if they touch and they will
also self blanch... the one necessity however is a long growing season
(5 months) and plenty of water. I think anyone can grow celery, needs
very little space, a square foot will easily grow four bunches. So
now we know what to plant in that wet spot.
You'd think after that nice dinner I shouldn't be hungry, but I'm
starving. Why, because I get my flu shot tomorrow and at the same
time I'll get my yearly routine fasting blood test, no eating/drinking
from 9PM.
