:D :D :D :D

First pick of carrots are now ready, from an early sowing in pots/containers back in Jan/Feb.

Very pleased as daughter would live of them if she had a chance!

These are Early Nantes, I sow a pot every 2 weeks from Jan through to Early March. These start of in a warm greenhouse and have been in cold frames for the last few weeks. Might not keep us in carrots but they are yummy!

They are between 4 and 6 inches long, a 10 inch pot gives a feed or 3 so will tide us over untill the early outdoor sowings are ready.

Very pleased as this year I have managed to get them a good month earlier tha prevoius years..
