We live in a cool climate. I have tried growing Celeric for the past two seasons. The plants appear healthy, but the bulbous root will not form. My last plants were germinated in September and planted out in November. By July, I still did not have a true Celeric root, Any advice here?

Hi Pam, I got my seeds from Diggers Australia. I tried last year, but did not get a bulbous root. Better luck this year.

We've got a huge amount of greenery but no bulb. We sowed seed in early spring. Will the bulbs form later because they are biennial?

If you're in the Western suburbs of Melbourne, you can get them from Shoestring Gardening.

Hi Geoff and your girlfriend,l live in Townsville,l love celeriac but do find it near impossible to buy,l have asked recently at new Coles store Deeragun and there reason for not having it was because it is not in season. When l have found it usually at markets,l buy plenty as it keeps very well in the crisper,basically anything you can do with a potao you can do with Celeriac,l try to get nice roundish ones,peel them,them wedge them,microwave for a few minutes,dry well and fry in a nice olive oil,very hot until nice and crispy,sprinkle with your fave herbs or spices and serve with Aioli YUM YUM.

I live in Morayfield, about 20 metres above sea level and 20 km from the sea.I have been growing celeriac in the area (we also lived in Caboolture) and it grows quite well, although it seems to have a lot more leaves than in the South. The bulbs are just as big, though. I bougt the seeds from Eden Seeds over the Internet and other times from Heirloom Seeds. The plant is biennial but I was too greedy to leave one plant to go to seed.
