LOL. No way. PB & Celery is the only way to go. I made my wife try some yesterday, she wasn't thrilled.

Best info I can find about it, but I'm not entirely sure what it means

Quote:

Hollow Celery.—Allow me to inform your correspondent (see p. 450), that any check which Celery experiences in its growth has a tendency to induce it to become hollow or to bolt, as it is called. Three years ago, when planting out my Celery I ran short of good rotten dung; therefore, for the last row, I used Borne that was fresh and in a green state. The result wag that my Celery was very nearly all hollow and only fit for soup. To grow Celery solid and crisp, and fit for table, it must be kept growing from the time when the seedlings appear until earthing-up takes place. It matters not whether the plants are raised in heat or not, if they are carefully hardened off, so as to receive no check. I say,again, keep the plants growing by a good supply of water and liquid manure, for good Celery cannot be obtained without labour and attention, both of which it will well repay in the end

Definitely increasing the amount of broccoli next year. Harvested 1.75lbs from another plant yesterday, Harvested 3.5lb so far.

Going to try to find out how well it freezes though. Have a bit in the freezer now, hopefully it thaws well.

Ok, so, fresh to frozen to thawed broccoli... blech. it's not that bad, just not OMG AWESOME fresh. It's just like any store bought frozen bagged broccoli.

Actually... I skipped the cooking step, so, maybe I should try that next

Wow that's awesome. Ya, I've never seen that kind of watermelon before. I only have seen the kind in the store...light green with squigly lines.
