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.

These beets are very sweet and mild, but bleed out to just a white color when boiled, which I don't find very appetizing. Nice tops for cooking.

Various sources.
My favorite variety, very reliable for me; nice to slice for canning.

Nice cylindrical beets for slicing, but didn't see enough difference compared to Cylindra to grow these again.
