After years of disapointments with growing carrots, I have this week harvested my first decent crop! ;D
After failing with growing in the ground I tried them in deep 'rose' pots this year (which were later plunged in the ground). After promising thinings earlier in the season, I decided to thin them again - and was pleasantly surprised at the size of the roots. There are still more to come!
I took a few photos that I will post up when i can get them uploaded.
PS I tried again at sowing direct in the soil recently - without great sucess (seeds germinated but many were later eaten), so it looks like the pot method will be used again.
