Howdy, Frank...long time no see.
Hope you are doing well in your new abode..and not suffering from too much snow.
I'm like you, celery will last quite a while in the fridge so it is one of the few veggies I prefer to buy, not grow. Plus in my area it gets pretty hot fast and doesn't grow well in the heat. On the other hand, lovage does great here. I should plant some in a dedicated area for a perennial next time.
Shoe (trudging thru snow and expecting ice over nite. Ugh)
