It seemed like a small patch, but there is lots of it. A pound and a half of fluffy leaves took up the whole counter. I triple-washed them and was trying to dry them somewhat before packing them in freezer bags and popping into the freezer. I had already de-stemmed them, washed the stems, and frozen them in separate bags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t eat a lot of celery. But this is easy to grow and has good flavor. This was the only plant that thrived in the rather shady spot under the cucumber trellis. I tried cilantro there, and lettuces, carrots, kale and fennel &#8211; they all missed the full sun and grew halfheartedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes an excellent addition to vegetable stock and is a good parsley substitute. This year I barely grew any parsley and I&#8217;ve missed having it around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someday I will have a dehydrator. That would work better than the freezer for this leafy stuff, I think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/@XRoad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/img_3734.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/@XRoad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/img_3734.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gemtactics.net\/@XRoad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/img_3734-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I harvested all of this Afina leaf celery.
