Alright carrots were a misfire. not even a knuckle long. Zucchini is looking better now that I remember to harvest it early enough. Tomatoes finally have a bit of fruit so I've thrown up the net around them.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

Sprouting a cut off top. Soil ought have been plenty soft.

I will throw my only carrot from this year into the ring and humble you all!

Thats more carrot than I've grown!

Honestly don't think I've had a single decent carrot over the years it makes me wonder about how many carrots are discarded in large scale Ag. (or that I'm doing something completely wrong).

[โ€“] Eagle@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

I've never had any luck, they're either 2cm long or all just tops. And yes, how many are discarded because even the odd bunch ones are pretty straight.
