Some of you may remember some time a go i was discussing various alternative ways of growing carrots
Well about a month ago I filled a seed tray of toilet roll inners, filled them with compost and sowed a couple of carrot seeds in the top of each one, watered it in then left it to germinate.
We then had a hot spell and the tray became dried out. Oh dear i thought thats the end of that. However i have kept it watered and a while back a few of the seeds germinated, but not enough to be worth planting - or so i thought. In the meantime i used the space i'd set aside for the carrots for a second sowing of beetroot. That i thought was the end of it.
A couple of days ago i noticed that LOADS more carot seed had germinated and were growing well. Typical, now i have nowhere to plant them! ::)
Anyway i have managed to find space to squeeze the plants in between some bush tomatoes and the wooden retainer of the bed they are planted in. I shall be interested in the results. i have a feeling the carrots (if any) will be a little crooked as roots were showing through the bottom of the tubes when i planted them. Never mind at least i will have SOME carrots ;D
