I AM curious about your carrots though. Did they die, or is their development just retarded?


No Sjoerd, they haven't died, they just seem to be stunted with very short foliage and tiny carrots. I think I put them too close to the dwarf runners which have over shadowed them so stopped their growth.

I agrtee with you on that...but glad to hear that they haven't perished. Perhaps there will still be time for them once the runners have finished and are out. fingersw crossed for you.

Looking good, Gardengirl.
Here's hoping that you have more and morte harvests to come.
I really like the taste of runners, don't you...but I have never tried any of your dwarf variety.
