Boy, you can tell I was tired! Sorry, for some reason I thought it was Rita asking about beets, not Juli
Celery is very slow growing so buying plants would be a better bet. I tried celriack (sp) this year from seed and it's still VERY tiny. A bust! But that's how we learn.
Cilantro is cool weather, even if you get it to germinate it probably will bolt right away. There's an herb called Papalo or something like that, that is considered a "summer cilantro" or a substitute for cilantro in summer. I have found parsley to be a hard one to get to germinate. I got plants and let it reseed itself!
I dug up two varieties of garlic before it started to pour. I got soaked and had to rush to get the garlic under the deck to dry. We grew 15 varieties and a lot of our market customers have been asking when it will be ready. When we cut the scapes last week we were able to sell them.
