Hi Adam, A pleasant surprise to see how little effort is needed to grow a decent crop of round carrots. I was expecting you to do some thinning which I suppose would have produced larger carrots, but as it was, still very edible. I noticed, back in the summer, that garden centres were selling strips of carrot seedlings ready to plant out. This was a method new to me and I was some what sceptical about the whole concept, but the young carrots seem to push themselves apart and develop into an acceptable crop.

Hi Robert, I've tried carrot strips before and they didn't work out that well for me. I think I've done a video about them somewhere on my channel. You're right about thinning the carrots in the early stages of this experiment but as a first attempt I was pretty happy with the results. Cheers Adam

Hi Adam, I thought that was brilliant. I will give that a go next year. See you soon.

Nice one, thanks Dave

A couple of seed trays in the greenhouse keep me and my missus in "cut and come again" salad leaves for the first couple of months until the outdoor lettuce has got going - that'd work for people who only have a windowsill or a balcony too - there's lots of things you can grow in a seed tray but this is the first time I've seen carrots in a saucer

If ever I get the desire to grow a few tiny spherical carrots, it's good to know that a shallow tray will suffice as a container. 🍺

[@AllotmentGrowHow]

If you ever get the desire to grow anything, do let us know. Oh wait... didn't you once try to grow microgreens, now they were tiny. 🍺

[@williamcolemansgardenandal9017]

​@@AllotmentGrowHow and I'm still growing microgreens today :-) I was thinking I may do an update next year, I have a community garden (allotmentish type thing) now as Mrs. Coleman and I retired and moved. Still grew lots of things though this past couple of years. Cheers! 🍺
