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.

The only thing i have really done to the ground is put some growmore on before planting.

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.
