Allotments 4 All

having taken on the plot in July I only had time to plant autumn king carrote which are proving to be a winner as usual. When we had aplot years ago I always grew St Valerie for my earlies but cannot see any in the catalogues. They were a lovely carrot. tehy had pale yellow cores and were so sweet

hi just saw this post and as i had just finished browsing through the edwin tuckers catalogue i can assure  you that they stock the st  valery the link is   www.edwintucker.com though im pretty sure kings also stock them too

cheers flower

I'm jealous if you can grow St Valery... I have only just got a plot I can grow any carrots on.. if they germinate! Danvers Half Long have been my most successful variety.
Plants of Distinction have a good range of different carrots...
;D

What I do is to dig a v shaped trench out about 10inch deep and half fill it with stoneless soil then top it up with compost. I always cover them with a fleece cloche to stop the carrot fly. I do the same with my autumn king. Give it a go. It works for me.

Works for me too Shirl 8)
