I did everything wrong... but oh so tasty!!
« on: July 09, 2011, 14:29 »
Carrots... I transplanted them (now know I shouldn't have) and grew them in a 'fed' bed (also know I shouldn't have done that).

The results weren't great... 'mutants' is an understatement of the things I pulled out of the ground last night. But - tasty, tasty, tasty nonetheless  :D

I grow my carrots in a compost and sandy soil mix in a huge tub and don't transplant my carrots and have had a few forked ones (only one or two mind) but what I am trying to say is I think we are so used to buying "perfect" veg from the supermarket we forget what real veg is like I didn't realise how many tiny slugs could hide in one cauliflower head until recently !!
some people are like slinkys......they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face as you push them down the stairs!!

Agree with you if it tastes good then don't worry what it looks like

Glad you enjoyed them Diddy  :) :)
