Hi there,

I have some Giant Red celery seeds, you have to blanch it yourself though.
Let me know if your still interested.

I've got self blanching celery and celeriac [worth a go!] which I would love to swap for banana shallot seeds. PM me if interested.

A load of hassle covering up the stalks as they grow to keep them white. google it and see what comes up. I'd only grow the self blanching type myself; and in fact am giving up on that and growing celeriac as I mainly only use it now for soups.

If you don't blanch non-self blanching celery, the stalks go green and are quite stringy.

Think I'd like the self-blanching ones although red celery sounds interesting. What do I cover them with?

zazen999...could you send me your address for the banana shallot seeds.

cheers
Howard
