I wonder why it was such a good year for carrots Sue?

We find that if we leave them in the ground until then, they go to seed, but with the tops removed and in compost they are fine. I grow Touchon for late autumn and early winter and Eskimo for winter and early spring, but I pop a cover over them when the weather turns, and cut the tops off them in November, the dry habitat without the rotting tops means we don't have slug issues : All the best - SteveSteve Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518801234249449853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-82761515873919624192021-09-21T02:12:46.091+00:002021-09-21T02:12:46.091+00:00We planted sweet corn at school super late.

It was worth it to watch the students pick, shuck (while listening to corny county music), and later eat their harvest.
