It's tempting to buy the big bag of celery at Costco but you'll seldom use it all by the time it starts to fade. If you wrap the celery in a plastic bag and then wrap that bag in aluminum foil you can get a much longer refrigerated shelf life.
Spread 1 to 2 inches of organic mulch, such as shredded bark, around the celery plants, but don't allow the mulch to pile up on the plants. Mulch will help to keep the ground cool, deter weeds and retain moisture. Harvest the celery when the stalks reach the desired size by cutting the plants off at ground level.
