Up here it's to early for most stuff outside and definitely for carrots. We have wind chill. Everything will wait.

I put 2 small rows of earlies in a couple of weeks ago under cover and another 2 yesterday, nothing showing yet.  I'm probably too early.

Agreed - I won't be bothering with carrots for a few weeks yet- the soil is too cold and wet.

I was going to say try Paris Market. I sowed some on 6 April last year. They didn't all germinate, but there were enough to make it worth while. Saved thinning them out too.

Don't say, yes, but you're in Spain... We had a hard frost a couple of mornings ago and even when there's no frost, it's pretty chilly here at night.

I'm sowing a big trug of rainbow carrots this weekend. If I sow now and keep the pot in the hall rather than on the balcony till they are up they will be fine. I can get 2 good crops in a year out of the trug this way.

I haven't sown anything outside yet, but was wondering about trying some carrots in either my greenhouse bed  or in deep pots filled with mushroom compost. Good idea or not?
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
