Acts of Random Gardening

I would love to be a better gardener and grow lots of things, but I am too lazy. In 2025 I am going to try to make a more disciplined approach and grow a few things well. The rest of the time shall probably be spent sitting and watching bees rather than doing any work.

Carrots

I am going to try and grow small carrots in containers because, quite frankly, the ones in the supermarket are tasteless at best.

• Sowing time is March to June (think I can probably keep this going longer
• Plant three seeds 1 cm deep, 5-7cm apart
• Succession sow every 2-3 weeks
• Germination takes two weeks (apparently)
• harvest 10-16 weeks (must be patient)

Other things to note - carrot fly is the biggest issue, so don't thin, put the pots near something strongly scented (this will be rosemary for me) and cover if possible

Shouldn't need too much water and feed a couple of times

So, until March when I will need to buy some new compost - I already have the seeds
