One thing which didn't do very well last year was carrots. The jury's still out on what went wrong, but several other plot-holders have said the same thing.
Hiding away from the rain in the greenhouse the other day, I found a packet of Nantes carrot seed. So instead of waiting to risk another £1.75 in the great outdoors, I decided to wang 'em in a bed that was going spare under glass.
They not only came up fast, a much higher percentage seemed to germinate than my last al fresco sowing. In fact looking at all the little seedlings that have popped up, I thinned one row straight away and found the roots already went down more than an inch.
Lucky packet..? Or are we onto something.?
