Well, it’s been awhile, due to some family drama, as you may have learned from my holiday letter. But not much has been happening in the garden in the meantime, though we have been enjoying some lettuce, herbs, and celery. Last summer, quite by mistake, I planted 6 small celery plants (which I thought were Italian parsley). When I realized my mistake, it seemed a shame to tear them out, so I left them alone. While my celery does not grow in the tall straight stalks you find in the market, it has been a wonderful addition to my winter garden. Just about every soup or stew recipe I make calls for a stalk or two of celery, and it’s handy to step outside to pick a couple.
