Paul Hearne commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Carrots"Cheers Colin, yes I will do that in future and at least I know for next time how long, what to expect etc...it's all a learning curve just hope I can back it up ;)"
Colin Robinson commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Carrots"They look fine but, as Darren says, probably need a bit longer in the ground. I make regular sowings in containers from mid-March and the earlies like Nantes and Amsterdam are now getting to a reasonable size and worth pulling. The maincrop carrots…"
Darren Blick commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Carrots"I sowed my short carrots 2nd week in March and I won't be pulling them up yet
Stumps normally take approx 22 to 24 weeks to mature fully but we have had some cold and wet weather which has slowed things up"
Paul Hearne commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Carrots"Hi Mr Carrot King ;)
They are Nantes which were sown 6th April so I thought maybe that was long enough, but also the reason why I only took 3 out to see what was happening.
Yes they do look good, I am happy with them just thought they may have been…"
Darren Blick commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Carrots"Look edible enough to me
Good colour
May have done with a bit more time in the ground
What variety?"
Fred Hogg commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Wind, wind and more wind."Tell me about it , those heathens are swamping us down here, steal our jobs and our houses, but the women, still fussy enough to deter there advances,,,,,,,,,,,, at present?????"
Colin Robinson commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Wind, wind and more wind."Be afraid, Fred. Hadrian's wall is no longer fit for purpose."
Fred Hogg commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Wind, wind and more wind."Well Colin , you can have your Victor moments, but to live in northern englands climes, has to be better than the dark side (Upper England). With the climate the heathens have to endure......."
Colin Robinson commented on Paul Hearne's blog post Wind, wind and more wind."Sometimes it seems like we're in a constant battle, Paul, but we persevere. My taties and broad beans have taken a bit of a battering but I'm sure they'll survive. I've certainly seen worse but I think the south of the country…"
Paul Hearne posted a blog postWind, wind and more wind.
I too have fallen foul to the wind as I guess so many others may have done but I guess it could have been a lot worse.http://ourtinygarden.wordpress.com/2012/06/16/wind-wind-and-more-wind/Just a quick updateSee More
Paul Hearne replied to Danny McGrath's discussion Too Late for Carrots?"At the opposite end..........carrots such as nantes and amsterdam forcing.. how long roughly from sow to harvest?
I have some nantes that are nearly ready (I think) but didn't do many on the first run so don't want another…"
Debbie commented on Paul Hearne's blog post May Overview (well Update)"interesting. Let us know how the peas get on as you have a lot in a small space. If it's successful we will all be following on next year :)"
Paul Hearne posted a blog postMay Overview (well Update)
I think I've been really busy but looking at what everyone else gets up to...my pathetic efforts don't even come close. Still.....I'm new to this, making loads of mistakes but learning a lot at the same time so let's hope next year I'm better prepared.Here's my May updatehttp://ourtinygarden.wordpress.com/2012/06/02/may-overview/I hope everyone in the UK had a great Jubilee weekend - 4 days of garden heaven eh?See More

The last of my first potaotes are now eaten and they were definately the best. What better way that to use them at the bbq for my parents 50th wedding anniversary
So how much did these weigh in at?

I'm happy with this one ;) At last!!!!!!!!!
