Celery-Naked and with clothes.

I don't have enough experience with celery to know whether it is doing good or not. It hasn't rained ( except 1/2 inch), but at least it has cooled off with highs around 80. I am spraying it once a week with a copper based fungicide because the leaves picked something up. I give it tons of water, but I don't know if it gets enough sun. I guess in about 8 weeks I'll know. I forgot to take pictures of my celeriac which looks real good. Also I have some cutting celery with very nice flavor, I'll definitely grow it again next year. It has grown all summer under a shade cover.

Last week I put collars on my celery to blanch and force it to grow taller.

The variety I am growing is Verde Pascal. I really have very little experience growing celery, but it seems to be going well. I am using rosin paper that has not been dyed. A week ago I used for the most part 9x9 squares and a string to hold them on. Also the little bamboo sticks help them grow straight. Some plants had a little rabbit setback but seem to be recovering. I am watering them every day and they are mulched as well, they grew three inches this week. Yesterday on the taller ones I placed 12 inch collars on them. When you take them off you can pluck off yellowed leaves and side shoots. On the really hot days I am covering them with old bed sheets for shade. I grew them from seed and the were started in early March.
