Thanks for the advice DD... clearly the results speak for them selves. I've planted Tender & True this year solely because I liked the name  :tongue2:

Now I find out!!! They'll have to curl uop a bit at the end I reckon as there is about 10 ins on great soil and then the bit dug over from the grass land -- I might try some elsewhere as well

It's possibly a touch of canker - can be caused by carrot fly. Wasn't very deep & came off when peeled.

Hi sunshineband, if you've not got a great depth, you might consider White Gem they're a bit shorter with a good shoulder and taste great.
