How to Grow Celeriac Growing Celeriac
hope this helps this was the guide i used.

 

Neil, that was a great link, thank you. - I have seen Dr. Cook's website before, I was looking for hints on butternutsquash. - He really grows some fabulous stuff and is obviously more than willing to share his knowledge.

 

There are two kind of celeriac, one with much stronger flavour and smaller in size, so they may have different requirements.

 

Maybe I dident get them started soon enough Iwill let them stay in the ground and see what happens over the winter
