Carrots

[Demeter]

Freshly manured soil, stoney soil and failure to sow thinly enough or not thin to a reasonable distance between plants are the reasons for twisted or funny shaped carrots!

Goodness, there's so much to get wrong!!
Thanks to all you lot I will have more of an idea for next year...

Hmmm - unconvinced about sieving 60cm squared by ?? deep of my lumpy soil in only a couple of hours - I don't think they do sieves with big enough holes... Still, if the Vee thing doesn't work, I reckon I'll be eating some of that home-grown humble pie and giving it a go

Sieving loosens it and gets rid of the stones...

.......& I'd guess sure is good for getting rid of the bat wings!!!
We've just recently planted some barley(to dig in in a few weeks)where we're going to grow carrots next year.
