Have you ever cooked with fresh celery right outta the garden? It's one of those veggies that is just so much better from the garden and not store-bought! Start indoors early and have stalks all season. And don't forget to add the leaves to soups, stews, and sauces - it will knock your cooking up a notch!

We love broccolini because the harvest is longer than the traditional single heads. The added bonus to these plants is that if you let the baby shoots flower they make great late season bee food. Save the bees if you please!
