carrots

[Doris_Pinks]

They are in and under fleece, we can but wait! I picked shorter varieties too this year......  I am sure it is something to do with my slug population, they seem to prefer carrot tops to beer!
Last year I tried planting them in guttering first, kinda worked but due to the depth I got tiny wonkey carrots!
Now if you wander up the hill on our site in a few months time, there will be rows of lovely carrots everywhere, but then maybe they use slug pellets!
So I haven't given in this year, and Gavin, we can make a pact, if neither of us get anything this year we won't bother next! :D
Now parsnips I can grow easily!! ;D

Afriend of mine on the lottie grows his sown in soil and then surrounded by tin sheets sunk into the ground. he seems to have success this way.
