Default Celery problems?

As I have said before, I go through a lot of celery. I had some that I
bought recently. Used maybe two ribs then the ends turned brown and it
wilted. I tossed it.

Went to Yakima Fruit today and the only celery they had were hearts. They
were skinny.

When I checked out, the clerk commented that he had never seen such skinny
ribs. Then he said that it was the only celery they had because they had to
throw out the stuff with leaves. He said it immediately went bad, just like
mine.

No matter what store I go to, the stalks are skinny and the prices are
higher. Both clerks at Yakima Fruit said there must be a celery problem but
they didn't know what it was.

Anyone heard anything? Thanks!
