We always get a good harvest from our Autumn King when sown a bit later. Thanks for the info Digeroo. Nice to be able to share our successes with each other

I'd never thought of hiding slug pellets like that, I do indeed have huge slug problems but have tried to avoid pellets because we have resident hedgehogs. Must try this idea though, thanks, but I still wonder how the lettuce and rocket got away with it.

GG as I said in my PM, I have stuck up for you in the past and think I deserve a FREE signed copy, mind you I don't want all the names you've used on here signed or it may take up a few pages. ;)
Even though you said in your PM to me about not understanding your book, I will give it a go, even if its not written in the Queens English. ;D ;D ;D

getting back to carrots, the early nantes I sowed last month in a container in the poly are all showing now :)

I find this thread strange. Why are your carrots only baby?

Only, I sowed D'Eysines Carrots in the first week of August last year and was cropping proper full sized ones early October and it was a lousy summer.

And this year I sowed Lisse de Meaux in mid-July and have eaten most of them already - again big, not as long as ones sown in Spring but 5 or 6 inches long and a hefty stew size.

Is it down to the different types we're sowing or what?

grawrc · « **Reply #35 on:** October 13, 2009, 10:32:21 »

I sowed d'eyssines carrots early August and they are barely showing. I've got them in a mini fleece tunnel now. Could be slugs of course. Also latitude?

Sowed some carrots last couple of days of July and started eating some of the thinnings today. They were about the size of my little finger.

Gorgeous - the taste of spring in the Autumn.

Digeroo ... just love your enthusiastic sharing ... that's what gardening is all about ... keep them comming !!

... p,s, my august sown carrots are also tiny :-\... but I have a lovley row of LoveinaMist (confusing blue flowers for carrot fly) ::) ;D

Just had the nursery kids round... we dug up some veg including a yellowstone carrot about 1' long... :)

I always sow carrots in July/August - picked some today, lovely - grown in a container (actually an old beehive super)

a great anagram of plain leaf is alien flap - quite suitable ;D

It has been very dry here. Rained the first week in August and then almost nothing for two months. So maybe the carrots been a bit slow. I will try more varieties next year.
