Carrots

Look at these poor efforts. They have been growing all summer long and this is all they could manage! Humph!
Meanwhile the peas, though rarely watered, are still valiantly pea-ing on grizzled stems: and the raspberries are joyfully producing mega-fruits as if they are thriving in the Garden of Eden.
No carrots next year but yes potatoes, courgettes, peas, tomatoes and all the jolly herbs that have been pepping up my cooking all summer.

I've never had any success growing carrots - and having seen the price of a sack of carrots st the Saturday market yesterday, I wouldn't bother trying to grow my own again! We got 22lb of onions for £4 - we couln't have grown them for that!
