Title: Carrots wanted
Post by: Mrs Ava on March 11, 2005, 18:57:37
Anyone got any going?  I have pretty coloured ones, but have just sowed 2 rows of autumn king I think they were, and that was it, not more, so if they are a no-show, well, what is a girl to do!?!  If you do, let me know what you might like to swap and I will see what I can do!  ;D

I've got two types of carrot going in...

Jaune Obtuse de Doubs  - old french variety, long yellow roots, very sweet.

Amsterdam Forcing (3)

Got about one-third of each packet going spare, if you're interested?

EJ, I have gone overboard with carrots  ;D

If you still need some I have a packet each of Autumn King 2 and Early Nantes 5 that you can gladly have. The date on the back says sow before 06/2005 so they are quite old but free  ;D

Let me know if you want them.

Thanks TimJ, you are a star, but I think I am now covered, and will probably end up with my carrots than you can shake a parsnip at!  :-*

Ooooo, how is Mrs TimJ doing?

EJ,

Mrs TimJ (or Alison, as we fondly refer to her worshipfulness!)  is still blooming thank you  ;)

We were convinced that our 2nd would be early, but then I underestimated my Better Half's determination to be late for absolutely everthing!!  :o
Still, it has to be any day now!! Told her to try to avoid the weekend though as I have spuds, onions and yet more shallots (sucker :-[) to put in. And a charity football match to play in!! Yikes

If your sure about the carrots, no problem, I had 21,000 seeds at last tot up. Bet they don't all germinate!!!  ;D
