Rain stops play

Oh no, I hope you don't get in a mess that Dylandog (in the blog above your's, and I hope I've got the name right).
Oh well if you do, your mower-happy daughter could come to the rescue eh?

lesson one never give a child alawn mower great lol you could start carrots off in pots or toms to, ive just done some tomatoes and sunflowers i got free, i have carrotts so may do them tomoz, couldnt be bothered after work today as they are fiddle dust like seeds :o( not grown veg before so not sure on spuds but im sure you can grow year round or at least most of year :o))

don`t see why you can`t grow potatoes all year round if you can keep them frost free, never tried myself but keep us posted

I'll keep you posted about the pots!!
Sanbaz the "child" is 26!!! lol and she says she was 'helping' just like her Granddad the other day. With all this help I'll have no garden left. Maybe my plants will pick up their roots and move out!!! ha ha

lol oops sorry thought was younger, keep them off the lawn mower anyway :o))

Can I really grow carrots in pots to plant out later? Sunflowers - sore point , we grow sunflowers every year for the birds to have seed in the winter; well that's always the plan. Every year we wait until they've grown to about 8 inches before planting out, and every year something slugs?? who knows what eats them, right the way down to ground level!!! We have tried growing them in large bottomless bottles you know the 2litre water bottles and still they disappear.

carrots can be planted outside now, from march so your ok, i was told you can start inside but never tried,

ok thanks Sanbaz just remembered sown the carrots in the wrong bed lol never grown them in pots to plant out later mmmmm maybe I will try some

i also read you should change where you plant carrots each year or two to stop the risk of disease ,

Oh Sanbaz if you only knew, you would realise that I am totally mad about my veggie garden, or totally mad or both ha ha. I have a plan of my garden, which I type up every year and have done so since 2007.I draw the beds on the computer and write in the boxes what I will grow in them every year so I don't forget. I grow my veg using a 4 year rotation system. and I still sow my carrots in the wrong place!!!! Sometimes I think there's no help for me. I blame my dad for 'helping' the other day, I had to keep an eye on him and confused myself in the process.

lol great you do seem organised even though you froget about your carrots hahah but it is distracting when some-one else is around, they talk and you lose all train of thought,,im sure where ever they are they will be ok :o))
