Thanks Ivan, great update. Will you be putting the carrots outside over winter, once they have germinated. Thanks for sharing.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you and good luck Sheila

[@conniedavidson1807]

I'm glad you said Parsnips are cold hardy. I've never had them germinate but always have tried them in the spring. I'll plant some to see if they do anything in the winter. My carrots are already planted for winter harvest.

Thanks Ivan great informative comment for the average gardener as usual. Personally I’m going for Chatenay as I’ve found them to be a bomb proof variety in containers . Some can get quite large in girth too if not length and the taste is superb. Donald , Edinburgh

Brilliant Thank you Donald

Hi Ivan. Thanks for doing this video and for the info. Brilliant. I will try a few varieties as suggested to see how they compare. That trough is going to produce a fantastic amount of carrots all being well although I don't think you will be moving it far? All the best. Trevor.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

So nice of you Glad to help Thank you Trevor

Thanks Ivan, I've got some Danvers Half Long carrots growing in containers that I sowed weeks ago and look like they're doing well and I totally ignored the sowing dates on the packet seeing as our weather totally ignores the sowing dates, lol. Take care and all the best. Stevie

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

I just go with what i want as well best of luck Stevie

[@cragzuk]

Thanks for the info Ivan, Defo going to be filling my long deep flower pots with carrots now. Did have have some in the garden under a netted cage but bloody slugs ravaged them so there is only about 5 left lol. 👍

Brill good luck Crag

I have some carrots growing in the garden but I am definitely going to try this. I bet it gives nice clean salad carrots. I love your water sprayer- such a lovely fine mist. perfect for watering little seeds/seedlings. May I ask what make it is please? Cheers Ivan. Thank you for another great video 😃

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

The water sprayer was from Wilko maybe they have reduced them a little Thank you

[@bewoodford2807]

@@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk thank you. Sadly my local Wilko is virtually empty and no online orders now. I will have to check out other stores. Cheers Ivan 😃

i used your method of sowing carrots in containers using a template, old compost, sieving and fertiliser, and have had fantastic germination rates compared to the past so ty for that! will always do it that way in future. love the vids, keep them coming!

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Wonderful!

[@laurathomason8693]

I had absolutely no idea you can sow carrots at this time of year!! I have only been gardening since 2019 and always followed the packet advice. Oh how wrong I was!! Since watching your channel Ivan I have learnt so much I may even carry on sowing and growing all through winter. Where as in the past I have emptied by beds and covered them ready for spring. I am really looking forward to winter now haha 😀

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

With a little protection we will go on Thank you Laura

[@strawberryhalls]

Hi. I was just wondering how long you keep the clingfilm on top? You probably said it but I'm writing down tips. Great watching these shows. Thank you.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Only until the seedlings appear then take it off Thank you

[@strawberryhalls]

@@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk Thanks a mill.

[@andynewman4394]

Morning Ivan What is your view on using old seeds I've got some carrot seed about a year old shall I give it a go or not bother

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Hi Andy Carrot seeds should be fine it is Parsnip seeds that do not last more than one year Thank you

[@cjd11ka]

Thanks for that was wondering what to sow next, How are the previous container of carrots doing i think you planted them at the beginning of august using the same method but in a smaller plastic container but you spaced the carrot seeds out using seed cells as a guide I have done the same but cannot see any carrots forming plenty of above ground growth thanks

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Hi Chris will do an update on those tomorrow Thank you

[@lornawhite6081]

Hello Ivan is coconut coir suitable for sowing carrot seeds in please?

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Yes, absolutely Thank you Lorna

[@leehoeppner1199]

I need to get outside and sow some carrots! Are there any other veg seeds that can be sown now for over wintering in the greenhouse?

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

you can do salads and spinach cabbage and cauli kale and Japanese over winter onions or spring onions also garlic and broad beans Thank you Lee

[@leehoeppner1199]

@@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk thanks Ivan I will give them a go. You should write a book on container gardening.
