A little celery I'm growing from my last batch of turkey soup. I've shot these little celery growths before but the inspiration for this one came a couple of months ago from my good friend Mags.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, of course I had to do a green monochrome to mark the day. Off to look for pots of gold and leprechauns with my daughter today. Best of luck to you in finding your own treasures!

Note to self: wash produce thoroughly before photographing. Also take more time to edit, my touch up work is a bit sloppier than I would like on this image but I had less than perfect celery to work with.

The plant was re-grown from the base of a harvested celery plant from a local supermarket.
These are the tiny pieces of celery found inside the heart.
Celery has made a surprising appearance in football folklore. Supporters of English Premier League team Chelsea and Football League team Gillingham regularly sing songs about the vegetable and are famed for throwing celery during matches. This has also given rise to the "Chelsea Cocktail", a pint of Guinness garnished with a stick of celery.

I rooted the base of this celery from the supermarket in a ramekin with water. These are all new leaves, so it is growing. However, it won't send up stalks. Perhaps if I were to mound up potting soil as it grows, then it might.
That bottom chunk of celery that we all toss out, is a fun little thing to place in a small bowl of water. It’ll keep growing, so I put it on my deck table like a little centerpiece. It’ll grow all summer, especially if I plant it in a pot of soil.
I slid this thru my slider machines a few times, messing with this and that, and this was the outcome I like best! 😁
Happy Slider Sunday!!

Believe it or not, this seledri is still my vegetables favourite and one of my fave mix salad...

A discussion of celery may seem strange in a book about wild plants, but in isolated areas celery does grow wild. These wildings - only a few steps from the fine, cultivated stalks of celery - are part of that great parsley family which includes so many poisonous plants.
For that reason, a note of caution is necessary here, to point out that essentially celery is a poisonous plant. We know that celery is improved in flavor if it can be first subjected to frost, thus removing the acrid principles just as, in the same family, parsnips are hardly fit to eat until they have spent the winter in the ground. Some people are allergic to celery, and for them the real harm comes from poison which is given off by the leaves under conditions of considerable moisture. This poison may produce a rash not unlike poison ivy. Gardeners - beware!
This has not, however, prevented celery from being a choice salad plant from the earliest times. It is said that the Romans enjoyed it and wove crowns of the leaves for dinner guests, while John Evelyn, in his interesting book on salads in the seventeenth century, gave celery high recommendation.
The druggist knows only the fruit or celery seed, which his guides list as a “stimulant and condiment.” Herbalists rate it as more important than that, however, and ascribe such virtues to it as nervine, antispasmodic, diuretic, and carminative. Almost every reference includes mention of celery as being of great value in rheumatism, but many plants are thus credited and the claims must be taken with a grain of salt. Rheumatism is an almost-universal complaint for which modern medicine has found alleviation, not cure. Because the disease comes and goes with or without treatment, it is easy for the sufferer to imagine that celery or almost any other plant has been of value.
Tiny slices of celery. The smallest one is a bit less than 1/8" (3mm) across.
