Hi,

I have some large plastic packing crates. I also have an empty
greenhouse & a small electric heater.

Is it possible to grow Carrots in containers at this time of year
either inside or outside the greenhouse (heater or unheated)?

P.s If its is ok, will it be ok to fill the crates with sieved
compost, with some peat mixed in?

Thanks for your help.


try forcing carrots like Amsterdam sweetheart for these conditions They grow
for me from Feb. in cloches. it might be more of a problem with the light
levels though
