Thanks guys, All is not lost then!
I've put planks up round the bed to its a few inches higher than the soil - not because they apparently can't fly that high but more to give the greenery some space to grow and then i'm pining mesh fabric over the top!Comment

I'm sure I read a saying somewhere about sowing carrots in the dust ........I've got a polythene (with ventilation) cloche over my parsnips and carrots this year to see if it makes a difference .......S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig

I've sewn my parsnips in loo rolls. They are all up and growing in the blowaway. When will it be ok to plant them on my lottie? Are young seedlings hardy?
Just making sure because I think they are.Comment

Grow all my carrots in raised containers in MPC. With being 2ft of the ground they tend to miss the fly and they come out nice and clean. Started the first lot off in the greenhouse in Jan and they are just about ready for the first harvest.

I am flapping now !
I built some raised beds on a half plot adjacent to mine that I have since assimilated onto my plot to make a big one.
they are 18 inches high, the first 6 inches filled with the groudn I dug out, the next six inches with well rotted manure and the top six inches with more ground I had dug up from the area the bed now stands on/around it.
Do we think this is gonna cause me a problem with forking or growing htem ?
to be honest, pretty much everywhere is manures/pelleted as its new to me (the allotment) in September last year so I have been trying to get the whole thing ship shape and get lots of nutrients in the soil.
I will probalby have to go with the plan and ptu them in there anyway like but do you lot reckon I am gonna struggle ?Comment
