carrot seedlings - show yourselves!

[jessica38]

I sowed mine on the 12th March in a large planter on the patio. This year I have decided to grow them in a container as I never have any success with them on the allotment. They are covered with enviromesh already. No carrot root fly is getting my carrots.

there was an injury incident today
larking about with my boy and his comfort item - a Cure T-Shirt - ended up ladning on my seedlings!

four suffered stem damage!
don't expect much from those now, and we had a talk about how we BOTH have to be careful around the growing things...

moved the container into the little greenhouse soon after!

Never grown carrots before, sowing my first tomorrow in containers so they can stay don't have to be moved. Planing to keep in conservatory for the first few weeks until they get established and the weather warms up a bit.

Funny thing is I don't even like carrots :-)

Sowed my carrots on the 22nd of Feb in a cloche/coldframe and its only been since last weekend that they've started to come up and today, I have nearly full rows of seedlings with a few spaces that will hopefully fill up over the next few days.

First batch planted and sat next to my Jersey Royals (in tubs) in the conservatory. Will post an update once they come through
