Well, I have a couple questions. I spend most of my time reading and researching and growing flowering type plants. Although I vegetable garden, I don't check out vegetable varieties as much, or very little.
So, does anyone here grow celery in say growing zone 6, 5 or 4? Can you give me any tips. I saw that starting seeds early indoors is best and it prefers lots of moisture, full sun and cool temps. Are there lots of seed varieties, or any ones recommended better than others? I would like to try growing some once or twice, just for. Can celery be grown in large containers?
Second question is regarding pumpkins. I've been doing a lot of canning lately and have thoroughly enjoyed it (although I've always canned tomatoes and salsa and some times green beans). I know that pumpkins are lots larger than tomatoes, but are there any patio variety types offered? Or even varieties that have shorter vines. I need a good eating type, which I've seen are usually the smaller ones. My hopes would be to can only one batch, or 7 pints. [I don't need any more than 7 pumpkin pies a year.

Thanks.
