Carrots soon need to be sown so we have been busy preparing the beds, pipes and barrels. So far we have used 6 ton of sand and it really doesn't go far.

Here are the short carrot beds in the tunnel that we finished off at the weekend ready for planting:



The long carrots will be planted in pipes outside in a raised bed of sand and also some will be planted in the tunnel in barrels where ever i have some free space.



Any left over carrot or parsnip mix will be used in the allotment. I use a steal bar and push it into the ground and conical it out as far down as the soil will let me and fill it with the mix. These wont produce high quality carrots or parsnips for the show but they will still be good specimens for eating as long as they are kept moist.
