These are some of our Celery plants. It's another plant that I advice anyone, whose is interested, to grow them as they are easy and fast: just give them regularly (daily) water for the best result.
They are a crisp, low-calorie and water-rich vegetable that I mainly use in soups but they are also healthy snacks that suits very well with creamy dips like peanut butter or hummus.
Celery contains antioxidants like flavonoids, Vitamin C, and phenolic acids, which support the management of inflammation, diabetes, cardiovascular health, managing blood pressure and as a diuretic.

We have been enjoying lots of celery in the last months, mainly in soups on weekly base or just as little snacks combined with peanut butter, hummus, tahini and chickpeas.
I am proud that I even made even our little cousins, which are not really vegetable lovers, like raw celery ribs dipped in peanut butter.
As the weather is getting warmer, the time has come to start blanching and freezing some of the harvest for later moments when these plants will not be around.

Just picked some more Celery from our garden.
As the weather is getting warmer I start to see some small flowers appearing on the top of the stalks. I guess that that is not a problem and that the stalks/leaves are still edible.
I wonder though how I continue pruning now so as to enjoy the plants as long as possible. Should I prune the smaller ribs back our should I do a dramatic cutback and prune back the main stem?
Are you a gardener? Do you know? Can you advise me?
I am looking forward for your answers in the comments. TIA
