So better to sow in the spring then ? I did think this because nothing much grows in the winter. for example : leeks and parsnips e.t.c  are just hardy and when you sow winter broad beans or onion they do germinate or sprout but just a little and then in spring they put on all the new growth.

I didnt get a single one to come up. Thought they had started last year but turned out to be weeds.

The carrots in the foreground are my over winter ones and are about 12 inches high.  The ones behind were sown a few weeks ago.

Here are mine:



I moved these out of the greenhouse a few weeks back and they're not as tall:



And my indoor purple one:

I'm interested in planting Carrot "Nantes Frubund" (Fast Crop) - is that what you chaps are talking about?  (the thread seemed to start off talking about them last Autumn, but that was 14 pages ago!! so I just wanted to check)

From T&Ms description I was expecting them to crop much earlier than now "exceptionally early and cold resistant. It will give you carrots in your garden in the spring when nobody else has them and when they are fetching high prices in the shops" - or am I being unfair?

Do they taste nice?

The very same!

OK, thanks. I'll just sit in the corner and listen then ...

My carrots are doing really well.  Have never had any luck with growing them before, so I'm very pleased.

They look great Ice!  Can almost taste them from here

They do taste amazing.  Had a few the other day steamed with butter and parsley.

Very nice Ice

Thank you.

Anyone else got some update pictures of theirs?

[richyrich7]

Mine are all brown bread

I still have my bucket full which are growing well.  Will get a piccie over the next day or so when it isn't dark!

Sorry if this is naive, but I thought they would be over by now? (I'm planning to grow this winter to have an "Early Spring Crop" as T&M puts it!!)
