hi all

i live in a flat and have an allotment about 5 minutes down the road from me. only had my plot since september last year.
basic success so far spud,beans,lettuce,beetroot,onions,courgettes,and sweetcorn

got some parsnips and carrots in a raised bed but i failed to thin them out so although they have grown they are somewhat small.

anyway on my balcony at home i have 5 tomato plants bearing tomatoes they are in large pots, could i take these down the plot and shove them in the ground or would this move harm them?

next basic question i have a section on soil ready to plant something, can i plant carrots now? if so what do i do.
do i just mark a line in the soil and whack seeds in the earth? if so how deep do i plant them, is this what is done for any seeds that are not going to be started off in little pots?

thanks

ps also pickled a nice batch of beetroot today

Chances are it'd slow them down for a tad

There are some varieties of carrots you can sow now, bu@@ered if I know what varieties, but yeah, water the soil, mark a line, throw a few seed in at random intervals and then cover with a smidge more soil ( afaik max depth = 2 * smallest width of seed ) ... then cross your fingers and hope the mighty carrot god is watching over you

There's a carrot variety called Autumn King or similar that can go in now

carrots go really well in tubs with sand mixed in
