Q+A: Root Parsley and Celery Root

CLIFF ASKED: Celery roots and parsley roots you buy in the supermarkets, are they the same as the roots of celery and parsley we grow in the garden?

Response:

No, you grow different varieties for root parsley and root celery.

They’re great for flavouring soups and keep very well.

Talking about celery, I’ve just ordered seed for something called cutting leaf celery, with strong tasting leaves that are good for flavouring soups and stews.
