BIG meal of grown vegs!
carrots again!      Hmm, just may be!  However, there is nothing like the taste of the first veggies you have ever grown, and for me, the delight never goes away - keep going, the carrots will grow in due course. by Julie J

Carrot fly
blighters! Keep a layer of fine horticultural fleece over them, my friend has had wonderful carrots since she started doing this. It is said that growing onions nearby helps, as the onion fly and the carrot fly get confused about the smells. Don't thin out by shaun_lincoln
