Alis girls Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I have never grown carrots successfully in London soil - too boggy. So put some sand and grow bag compost in a pot and wacked in some seed and waited. Yesterday OH watched as I attempted to pull one out and said " theres nothing there" and lo and behold a lovely big 6inch carrot. Oh ye of little faith. I will try and photograph it before eating. next year plan to get a big planter and do some. feeling smug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Well done . I've grown carrots for the first time ever this year too . It's just brilliant when you pull and a proper real live carrot comes up . (Somehow I don't expect it .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 And they taste SOOO much better then shop bought ones!! I have tried growing them in tubs before - and they have always failed me... But this year, as a last ditch attempt, I grew them in the ground. Bingo! Weren't quite 6 inches. but tasty none the less!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
