Default Carrots


I grow Summer Savoury a herb that puts the carrot fly off! Also grow the
variety Flyaway.
I get some funny shapes because we have stoney ground.

They say including Summer Savory in the recipe helps mitigate the
fartaceousness of Jerusalem artichokes.

But they appear at different times, so how does that work? Or am I
miscalculating the cunning of veggies?! OR does your source mean globe
artichokes?


Wouldn't globe artichokes fall out??

I'm growing mine between onions and beetroot this year. Supposed to be
onions and garlic, but the garlic all went manky

Stony, or over-fertilised?

Gosh, I've no idea: I suppose you dry it. I've never grown S.S. at
all, and this is the first year I've planted J.A. I wonder where I
read or heard it...straining my wholly fallible memory, I'm getting a
radio feeling, which would mean GQT, Woman's Hr, or The Food Prog. I'm
all but certain it wasn't Winter Savory, but that seems to have the
same sort of effect, so it would make more sense...as well as being,
fide Wikipedia, "a known aphrodisiac".
