10 Mar 09, Barb (Australia - sub-tropical climate): Celery needs very regular watering, and regular light fertilising to keep it growing fast. I've heard that growing too slowly causes the thin stems and not so nice flavour.

05 Mar 09, Kate (Australia - temperate climate): I planted celery in October last year - it grew beautifully and nothing has damaged it, but the celery hasn't developed to the size I expected and it doesn't taste good. It is the right height but the stems are very thin. Can anyone offer suggestions for next time?
