Title: CARROTS but not new by any means!
Post by: Muddy_Boots on May 14, 2005, 19:25:14
Have me carrot seed, Early Nantes, growing beautifully as I did some years ago (Sorry, no gardie in between!).  Don't remember doing anything to them at all, no fleecing, no thinning, just enjoying small, really sweet carrots.  Do you think I can get away with it again or, really, should I be doing something sensible? 

Down in the south east of Kent but a little more exposed than previously though not much.  ~Am paranoid about root fly but, last time, didn't thin out and didn't have any probs.  Lucky, is only me and love tiny, sweet carrots.  Any advice and comments gratefully received! :D

We grew those last year in Kent.  No probs at all.  They were bunged in by a stroppy teenager with the sulks at the time so maybe it was sowing with attitude that helped.  That and the fact that the line was as wonky as a donkey's doodah .......?

If you can do otherwise, why risk it? You might regret it.
