We have several celery plants this year, our first time to try this vegetable. With the prolonged hot spell, all but one plant are yellow and stunted. Since we are now at the end of July, is it possible to cut these stunted ones back to encourage new growth for a fall harvest? My husband keeps the plants watered and fertilized, and they are in an area that is shaded by late afternoon. You advice is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm sorry no one has answered yet, and I know nothing of growing celery.

I've suggested that your thread be moved to the veggie and fruit forum. Hopefully someone there can see this and help you out.

Hello!

I'm growing celery too. I haven't tried it, but I've heard that you can cut off outer stems as they grow to eat the celery so I believe cutting off wilted stems would be about the same.

I saw this and didn't answer either as I have no clue as to the answer.

I've never tried to grow it, but here it is definitely a winter crop. I would think that means they don't like heat.
