We've had a very informal celeriac competion these last few years at the allotments, largely because it doesn't really seem to want to grow. This year I tried a new approach which involved growing just 12 plants in prepared soil in a builders bag. This is the way I normally grow carrots as they don't do well in my soil. The celeriac seems to like this treatment. They have grown to about six inches across - more than double the normal size. I have awarded myself first prize, though to be honest nobody else got beyond sowing seed this year.
