Sowing carrot seed

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:12:12 +0100

I've sown some early carrots in a pot -it's about 10 inches deep - I think I might get some baby carrot size ones for the kids. Carrots are the only vegtable my 4 year old will eat (only eats them raw) so it's worth a try. Normally when I've grown them in the ground they've been about 3 inches long and forked.

So yesterday I (and the children) put a few seeds on compost in a 10 inch deep pot, in the middle of the pot we put a bottomless plastic cup (filled with compost -like a pipe I suppose) and put a few seeds in that too - hopefully these ones will be longer.

I wanted to upload pictures - but haven't got that advanced in the blogging yet.

Finding my blog

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 13:29:11 +0100

I'm having real trouble finding my own blog - I thought it would show under the interst that I entered - but no. Then I looked up usernames - and I wasn't there either - can anyone throw some light??

I've only been blogging since I've had this - 3 days - that's my excuse.

New ideas for growing vegtables

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 21:39:24 +0100

Thinking of growing some carrots in containers -as have had little success in the garden (soil too stoney -I think) or at the allotment (soil too heavy).
Not sure how deep the container should be.
Lettuce is another new one for me -so far I've sowed in pots and will be transplanting outside depending on the rain.
