Well most of the long carrots have now come up but still some stations refuse to germinate, this may well be due to the mix being so fine that when watering the seeds sunk down to far.



One thing i did see in GardenNews is planting carrots in toilet rolls first and carefully planting them out. Carrots wont stand being pricked out as you will disturb the tap root, but maybe this is something to try next year as in theory the carrot wont be disturbed and planted straight into the pipes. Germination inside the tunnel would not be a problem and then I'm near 100% guaranteed germination without wasting 4 weeks..One to try maybe.
