Anyone ever start Celery like this?

That is so weird. You could start two more pots in the same conditions and blanch one and not blanch one and see how it works out.

My celery did have a strong celery flavor. The stalks on it were as tall as regular celery but narrow.

Incidentally I did a lot of cooking with the celery leaves, chopping them up into things.

I was thinking my plant was small cause of the pot size and thought it would do better in the ground. But I read celery has very shallow roots, which is why people struggle to grow it.

Excessive heat, inadequate moisture, or lack of fertility will result in tough, strong tasting and stringy celery.

At planting time apply 10-10-10 complete fertilizer. Continue to fertilize regularly, every three weeks or so, with 1 tablespoon per plant. Sprinkle around the base of the plant, but not up against the stem, and water in.
