Hi, Melanie!
 
The thyme and sage from your garden would (and will with this mild weather) have worked just fine.  I find the size of the leaves to be the determining factor as it's so time consuming to work the thyme leaves off the stems when you have a gazillion other things to do for the holiday meal. 
 
Ditto for the celery.
 
Have a great holiday weekend!

Hi all,
 
Melanie Vassallo, Long Island NY zone 6b
 
At the risk of sounding like a true city gal I have two questions about edibles from the garden.
 
#1  Today I bought a few sprigs of Sage and a few springs of Thyme at the market. In my garden I have Berggarten Sage and lots of different thymes. Could I have used those instead to flavor my turkey?
 
#2  In my red radio flyer wagon I planted an herb garden. The frost took care of the basil but the celery looks just luscious! Only problem is the stalks are thinner than a pencil. OK, the wagon probably isn't the best growing conditions but the foliage on top is just lovely. Is celery foliage edible? Is it yummy? Can I use it in my corn chowder tomorrow??? (ok, this was a multiple part question).
 
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Melanie V
