Well, growing the carrots in tubs seems to have worked! I got my first ever carrots. They aren’t enormous, but that’s fine. I’ve left a fair few in the tub to grow on a bit after taking these out.

22 Jun 2009Stewed currants Whitecurrant Harvesting and Veg patch gardenAfter spotting a young blackbird starting to pick my white currants for me, I thought I’d better pick them all.

21 Jun 2009Final potatoes Carrots 'Early Nantes 2' - Second tub Sown, Backyard garden , Carrots "Early Nantes 2" - first tub Sproutin...Well, I harvested the last of my new potatoes yesterday. I have got to say the tubs of potatoes have been a resounding success. Definitely worth doing again next year, although hopefully I’ll be able to buy fewer spuds to put in them. Maybe get to Seedy Sunday again, and only buy 6. We̵...17°C / 63°F
