Some nice carrots and yes huge.
What variety are they?

Tend to grow mine as baby carrots.
Grown Caracus and Chantenay Red Cored this year and picked a nice load this weekend and yummy.
Also picked this weekend piles of Kale, loads of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, runner and helda beans.

They're 'Yellowstone' - T&M I think.

I didn't plan for them to be so big and it's very early for them to have reached this size!! I think it's because they're in last years celeriac bed which was VERY well composted/manured as celeriac are greedy feeders ???

Turned out the Desiree bag - 3 seed spuds = 3.5kg spuds in the end, most of them are a really good size. Will be repeating the exercise again next year.  :D

Another cucumber, more tomatoes including 3 big Black Krims.

If you haven't tried yet, have a sliced black krim tomato with cheese in a sandwich - it makes a really meaty sandwich I'm reliably told ;) :)

Just returned from holiday and picked a  bowl of tomatoes (with lots more to come) and lots of sweet peppers. Have not even looked at the courgettes or the other outdoor stuff.
