It's always fun for the boys to go get a carrot or two in the winter months. I admire what you are doing. And you always make me smile. Thanks for the nice blog.Jackie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04764789292846059685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-70084065179397374032012-09-13T08:27:55.512+01:002012-09-13T08:27:55.512+01:00We've never been successful in growing carrots...We've never been successful in growing carrots. Not sure why. There has always been enough greenery to keep the rabbits happy but never enough orange carrot to do more than one meal so we've given up. Any pointers to growing carrots successfully would be gratefully received.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16855403299773356566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-69015634560738858852012-09-12T15:45:01.677+01:002012-09-12T15:45:01.677+01:00The years we had a glut of carrots I made spicy c...The years we had a glut of carrots I made spicy carrot chutney. It keeps well and we often used it spooned out of the jars as a vegetable. We haven't had a glut for a couple of years and making it with bought carrots isn't the same.<br />I just found your blog. We lived part time in mid Wales on the border and were more or less self-sufficient in veggies even though the plot was at 1000 ft. When the big decision came we sold up and moved to Poitou-Charente in France. The lack of big juicy carrots is due to the drought again this year!!<br />Helen in FranceHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043645352302036774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-37834463475732136932012-09-12T10:39:11.916+01:002012-09-12T10:39:11.916+01:00A great post.
