Allotments 4 All

Anyone who says you cannot grow decent carrots on clay soil should be shown this:



These are Autumn King sown on my allotment taken in hand after a number of years of fallow in the spring. Sown in drills filled with compost to aid germination. I must say they are the best carrots I have grown in 8 years.

Grown under fleece until 4 weeks ago but still no sign of fly. The sweetcorn, also from the allotment, have been very good as well.

They cooked very well too. Good flavour and retained their colour. I also have rows of fly away, nantes and chantery red to look forward too!

Fab carrots Jerry and the corn looks yummy too! ;D

Something so deliciously 'earthy' about home grown, home pulled carrots!  I can't help but eat one as I am pulling them, mud and all!  Good size carrots too, mine are still tiddlers.
