Grew this in 2022, my first-time ever actual success with celery (after several previous tries). I was very diligent about watering and the plants grew next to my hoop house, where any rainfall ran off directly onto them. The ribs were very large, crisp, flavorful, and not as stringy as any celery I have purchased in the store - and they stored nicely in the crisper drawer of my refrigerator from early October to the following February.
