Growing carrots has become a nightmare of obstacles, fleeces, fine
meshed nets and raised beds.

Here in Cornwall it is impossible to grow them without heavy protection
and it's got to the point where it's costing a small fortune in
materials just to grow a couple of rows

Have you ever considered buying carrots in a supermarket/grocer there
in Cornwall? Then you could lay off the armed bodyguards and get a good
night's sleep .

The problem of course is that super market carrots are tasteless in
comparison with ones that are home grown. A carrot straight out of the
garden and into the pot tastes wonderful. Super market carrots just add
a colour to the plate, and taste like cardboard!
