My carrots are rubbish. They're in a light sandy soil with good drainage
that's pretty much stone-free. Yet the carrots planted in April have
come out like emaciated stunted pencils. The ones i saw on gardeners'

Living in the wrong country. I will bet that the pictures were not
of this year's carrots. It has been so bloody cold than mine are
similar to yours, and I have (like you) almost ideal soil.

I believe that the penalty for showing a gardening program on television
or writing a gardening article and using data from previous years or
otther seasons, without making that clear, should be the stocks.
