Overwinter celeriac?
My celeriac are about the size of radishes owing to the poor weather this year. Can I just leave them in the ground and let them carry on growing? They seem to have come through the recent cold snap unscathed.

Googled around it appears they go to seed in the spring, and even if the tops look OK the roots go to mush. Well maybe they will serve as a bit of groundcover. Remember that you can eat the tops. My small ones tops and bottoms made some good soup last year. This year mine are certainly smaller than I would hope, but we shall be able to have some mashed celeriac with our Christmas dinner as usual.

Some we bought as young plants have impressive tops but only fibrous roots. Paul |
