Same thing happened here a few days ago. Having a new tap fitted in the kitchen meant 2 shelves of ‘stuff’ had to be removed. Only 2/3rds of it went back and in a much more organised manner.

Hope it tastes as good as it looks.

We are not a cat family Lex.

We had a beautiful pale yellow one before. It might even have come from the same couple who bought us this one. It lasted years with lots of aerial roots. But the top half gradually diminished with a decreasing number of flowers each year. I gave it the boot earlier this year.

Grew them successfully, as an experiment, on my previous plot many years ago.
But we are not great lovers of the celery flavour so I didn’t bother with celery or celeriac this year.
For me timing & conditions have been very testing & very specific this year. It could be the same for your celeriac?

Put my seed feeders up this week too. The tits were the first to come. Think ours might have gone to a different school 🤔 No aggression witnessed, just a lot of hopping from one perch to another.
A new stock of bird food is arriving today so the suet block & ground feeders will go out tomorrow.
