I have a carrot!

[Professor Peabody]

Am very happy (perhaps too much) that out of what seemed like hundreds of carrot seeds I sowed a couple of weeks back, one has finally showed above ground.

Still no sign of the beetroot though so will have to make Dad sing happier songs to them.

your lucky,i sowed some 3/4 weeks ago and nothing,think still time,they are outside.

I always struggle with carrots. This year I've been given a couple of old baths and I'm going to try growing them in those.

mine too I sowed purple haze, resisafly and parmex two weeks ago and nothing!!!

No seedlings at all actually out of the ones I have sown in the garden. Sigh.

well done professor! you are the winner.
i chickened out and just did mine inside then into the greenhouse!

2 weeks is nothing. I sowed some last April and they finally showed in June.

Mine sowed about a month ago has one up...sown in a deep polystyrene box outdoors and taken to the lottie at the weekend. Will be sowing very thinly in between onions now that my onions from seed are going in the ground.

Just a quick update. Dad phoned me at work today all excited to tell me that the parsnip seeds we sowed have come up. When I asked him how many had shown he said about twelve which, as I told him, was a miracle since we only planted four! I think he means the radishes and then he had a grumble about how was he supposed to know what was what - I don't know either Dad but looking at the labels I wrote out might be a start!!

Gawd bless aged Dad's - where would I be without him making me laugh!
