Yes, it is normal for celery to grow slow especially if you have had alot of rain ? :)

same! mine's been in the ground about 2 months and it doesn't seem to have grown much more than it did in the first week

Adding fertiliser did the trick for me. The instructions said liquid but my father in law gave me some chicken manure pellets. I never followed up so they didn't grow big fat stalks but the flavour sure is concentrated.
