Beetroot
Broad Beans 'Full White' Self-blanching Celery
Broccoli & Rapini A nice white celery. The upright plants are vigorous, and grow on well, needing little or no earthing up to
give a nicely blanched & mild-tasting interior.
Brussels Sprouts
Cabbage We are always very busy in the gardens, and so we like to grow crops that need the minimum of work to
get a good result. So we were very pleased to find this self-blanching variety of celery which really is tender
Cauliflower and mild without any attention at all.
Carrots
The one Ben is holding in the picture was not earthed up at all, though we tied it loosely with a bit of
Celery, & Celeriac hessian twine towards the end, and we think that it has come out really well for so little work! Some people
Chicory like to pack straw around the plants to enhance the self-blanching effect further. Stands well, ready from October.

Larger If you don't know it, Celeriac is a root vegetable derived from celery, but bred for its huge
root ball that you eat. (Its very much like the relationship between Chard and Beetroot -
Tomatilloes &
Groundcherries
they are the same plant but have been bred for very different uses.)

Turnips This is the well-known heirloom variety from Prague in what is now the Czech Republic,
Unusual Tubers: Oca & which has been grown for years in the UK with good results. We have a strain of seed that
Yacon has been reselected in modern times for root balls that are a bit smoother.

To get the best results from celeriac, water in dry periods and pull away the lower ageing
leaves as the plant matures. A weekly liquid feed with homemade comfrey 'tea' or liquid
manure will also help get really good sized roots - though we rarely bother to do this and
still get plenty of celeriac to eat!

Selected for smoother and rounder roots, so they are easier to wash and require less
trimming.
