Carrot question
« on: June 08, 2011, 17:36 »
Can they be sown in between the onion sets? Just thought I'd try and fill the space inbetween and have some autumn king seeds
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

How are you going to hoe the onions?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Good question never thought of that. Going to stick pumpkins in where the first earlies are coming from so a bit stuck where to plant them. We have flakee and chantoney in tubs already but no winter carrots so far.

Any suggestions

I sow a row of carrots between rows of onions to confuse carrot fly, but this leaves me enough space to weed around them all.

More tubs?  :lol:

I've enough room on my plots, but I've done some late carrots in big pots at home, so I can harvest if we get another big freeze.

Planted them today in that pot with compost I'd got for the rhubarb. Decided to find a spot in the garden for them

I only ever grow carrots in flower buckets now.

As DD says keep sowing buckets through the season and you can harvest right through the winter.
