Why have my carrots not come up?

You are not alone. I've only had three or four come up. Mind you, they're doing better than my peas - not a single one!? How can you go wrong with peas, for God's sake? I did the whole thing as per instructions - prepared the soil carefully, made the V-shaped trench, gave it a good watering, plonked the peas in, sat back and waited ... and waited ... are they especially fussy about sowing depth? I think I may have planted them a /little/ deep, but other than that I am flummoxed. Andy -- It doesn't sound from my, somewhat limited, experience that you've done anything wrong. Maybe mice or birds got to the seeds before they had a chance to germinate? Started my first ever veg plot this year, and nearly all of my peas have come up. Fantastic moment last night when I picked one of the immature pods and ate it while looking at my garden. Delicious! Slightly sad I know, but it's the first thing I've ever eaten that I've grown myself, so I think I'll excuse myself! |
