Hi Geoff and your girlfriend,l live in Townsville,l love celeriac but do find it near impossible to buy,l have asked recently at new Coles store Deeragun and there reason for not having it was because it is not in season. When l have found it usually at markets,l buy plenty as it keeps very well in the crisper,basically anything you can do with a potao you can do with Celeriac,l try to get nice roundish ones,peel them,them wedge them,microwave for a few minutes,dry well and fry in a nice olive oil,very hot until nice and crispy,sprinkle with your fave herbs or spices and serve with Aioli YUM YUM.

I live in Morayfield, about 20 metres above sea level and 20 km from the sea.I have been growing celeriac in the area (we also lived in Caboolture) and it grows quite well, although it seems to have a lot more leaves than in the South. The bulbs are just as big, though. I bougt the seeds from Eden Seeds over the Internet and other times from Heirloom Seeds. The plant is biennial but I was too greedy to leave one plant to go to seed.

hi....a lot of hotels & restaurants have on their menu WALDORF salad...well the real recipe is that salad should be made with CELERIAC small apples & walnut with a mayonnaise dressing ( no sugar) but a good lemon juice to grow celeriac you need a lot of old manure.happy gardening& cooking

I found a punnet with heaps of well astablished seedlings at local Bunnings gardening dept in Mudgee Cntrl West NSW. Never seen them here before but going to give them a try, something I have been interested to do for some time.There will be enough to use the stalk and later for soups and stews in the cooler months. I like the idea of leaf and stalk as well as it doubling as a root veg.See how we go.

Try your state Renaissance Herb supplier - there is one grower for every state.

I buy mine from Greeharvest.com.au they are in QLD and ship to WA. Delivery takes while because of quarantine in WA, all seeds so far have been good and viable.

I bought my seeds from the Italian Gardener. The plants are lush and healthy and I am using the fronds as celery but the root bulbs have not developed (been in ground now 24 weeks). I suspect that the soil was not sufficiently rich in compost etc.

I buy the celeriac bulbs ( with the smaller roots still attached) from the supermarket and allow them to re establish themselves, then I wait for it to go to seed, and in the meantime I am still able to pick the stalks and use them in my cooking. It works for me :)
