Thursday, 21 August 2014. Carrots are usually a staple for the summer and into the winter but not this year. The early sowing was almost a complete failure, there were so few germinating that I pulled them out in the end and sowed again in a different spot. Why did the outdoor ones get carrot root fly?

Wednesday, 24 April 2013. Personally a slow start to spring is better than last years see-saw weather from warm to cold to hot to frost. Use the time to prepare for this sudden spurt.
