Carrots





We have carrots and no root fly, that is amazing.  OK they were small carrots, but they made a good meal.  They were grown in a big tub started off in the polytunnel, then later when the weather got very warm brought outside and covered in fleece. After about three years of failures with carrots due to root fly to be able to pull up some perfect specimens was great. We have more in tubs and some in the ground so we are nurturing them all carefully. Could this be the year of the carrot?
