Definately going to try it, you can do it with florence fennel and cabbages as well ( if you cut a  cabbage off the stalk rather than pull it and then cut a cross in the top of the stalk you can get four small cabbage heads)  My problem with some veg is my short growing season so regrowing is limited unless they are in the poly. I do a lot of cut and come again but regrowing takes a little longer.

Will also try this , saves buying seeds. Thanks for the tip.

i have just got the first green shots breaking through the soil surface. not enough to photo today but i think that there will be a good shot or 2 over the next few weeks. great tip and looks like we will have loads of celery.
