Growing Celery

I have been growing celery for a few years. I always blanch the Celery for about 2 weeks using a piece of downpipe. When I harvest the Celery it looks terrific. Store it in the crisper in a plastic bag with a paper towel. After about 2 weeks it turns all mushy. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?. Thanks in advance. Pete.

Hi Pete, at what point in the growing time did you use the pipe please? It sounds like a great idea. Deb

Make sure it is dry and put in the plastic bag. Maybe put a few small holes in the bag and use a tie.If it goes limp stand in some water for a few hours.
