i've come to the conclusion that the secret to growing carrots is nobody's told you they're really rather difficult

oops, that's torn it :)

Must say that all looks rather fab..... I've just found a place with horse mushrooms too... if I can get another couple of pickings off there that match the first one then I'll have enough in the freezer to last me a year.....
