Victoria
Self-blanching, which means you don't need to earth it up in trenches like Victorian gardeners. Plant in a block, the outer plants shade the inner ones, and you get pale, tender stems with much less faff.
in the kitchen
Waldorf salad
Slice crisp celery, toss with apple, walnuts, and a dressing of mayonnaise lightened with lemon juice and a touch of cream. The crunch of good celery makes this dish — without it, it's just a bowl of mayo.
