I Carrot Believe It!

[SueA]

Just found this little beggar growing in a pot that I took a cucumber plant out of a while ago & was putting a few tulip bulbs & pansies in. It's the only carrot which has come up from the early ones I sowed at the beginning of the year & gave up on as they disappeared as soon as they germinated. I re-used the compost & pot for the cucumber & now this skinny little carrot has suddenly appeared. I've left it to see if it gets any bigger & then I might eat it ceremonially by itself!

Your garden definitely has a life all its own Sue. At least it's veg this time not fauna.

I've found carrots coming up ages after I'd given them up for lost, also found that when thinning out (this was the lot I grew after I thought the first lot were gonners) the light must have got to seed in the soil as other little fronds start appearing, is this the case?

I sowed some around this time last year & some came up some didn't , I wasn't suprised as it was old seed. But I dug the bed over in the greenhouse earlier on & I've had 4 carrots & a tomatoe suddenly appear

Hope you get that carrot for your Christmas dinner SueA. I grew Early Nantes in long toms this year and the crop was phenomenal. Can't believe I didn't take a pic. Just hope I can pull it off again next year. Will definitely take a pic and post it for the world to see. Enjoy that carrot.

This was an 'Early Nantes' Alice, bit late though wasn't it! I think it must be as the other Sue says that it was left in the compost & then got disturbed when I replanted, it's in there with some bulbs & pansies now.
