Sorry, I have lettuce on the brain. I meant to ask what can I do with this
CELERY central stalk.
Thanks,
Beth

Subject: Bolting celery
Hi all,
I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to grow celery this year and a couple of the
plants have started to bolt (go to seed). These were plants I bought-the
ones I grew from seed are OK. I know they will bolt if exposed to temps
below 55 F for a week, so I suspect the seedling source may be at fault for
letting them get chilled. Will anything else make them bolt? Second
important question: What can I do with this lettuce? Let it go to seed and
get "celery seed" spice? Chop off stalk and eat or use in cooking (soup)?
I hate to just compost.
Thanks,
Beth (MD zone 7)
