My Potatoes, Onions and Carrots are doing very nice, but do i need to feed them as they are growing, or can they just be left?

Thanks Mike

I am really behind with my planting I am hoping to plant my first carrots tomorrow. We have just dug deeply and then because our ground it very heavy dug a bale of compost into this bed because it has always been wet and cold. This is the first time I have grown carrots in this bed.

Growmore should keep your veg growing all season. If you are growing maincrop potatoes you could give them a bit extra during earthing up. If you are growing earlies and they need watering (they usually do unless the summer is like last year) you could give them a bit of liquid feed.
