Title: First carrots!
Post by: ytyynycefn on June 21, 2007, 20:38

I've just troughed my first carrots, and blooming lovely they were too - started in the greenhouse in February and grown in a trough (moved outside in May), they are Rocket F1, and while only small, they are fabulous!  makes up for having to resow all my maincroppers due to slug damage.  So I am very, very happy  :D

Lovely Mel.  I'm looking forward to pulling some, but they are teeny tiny now.


Well I've seen everything now ! (http://www.carrotmuseum.co.uk/)

Just had our first lot of carrots this week too, for our first year at this we seem to be doing okay up to present (better than I thought), we've made one or two mistakes but we've learnt from them.
