Wow those leeks are amazing.  Lots of hanging baskets too.  Good luck with the shows - let us know how you do & please can we see the monster carots when you harvest them.

The local lads that work on different sites or when they go into builders yards they look to see if any has been skipped they get it for us.

TIM  that tunnel is only about 20 feet long. But growing carrots in there has its problems one being the raised trench dries out quickly and the foliage gets drawn so when you top water it topples over, so i put in an undergaround hose
