  • Carrots

    I planted up 3 deep containers of carrots weeks ago, they were covered with Environmesh, today only about 3 ! Have germinated, so I dug them over and will replant, they were Nantes and Chanteney ( sorry not correct spelling!). I did this successfully last year, any thoughts please? Too early? Too cold? In a mixture of MP compost with a bit of sand.

    Thanks

    Mine too were sown weeks ago but in a covered raised bed - they're only just showing so maybe you should have waited a bit longer Dotty? Good luck with the next lot

        Maybe ! Shouldn't be so impatient should I, but there didn't seem to much happening to be honest, only a couple in each container.

          Definitely because of the cold. Is it possible to bring the pots in a spare room to germinate?

            Unfortunately No, these are the 'big recycling containers', with holes in bottom, and are on allotment, no worries, I'll just 're-sow' them, think I sowed them when weather was warmer a few weeks ago, before Spring arrived!

              They always take a good while from an early sowing, suspect you have been too impatient.

              Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

              Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
