re: carrots

Carrots annoy me because they can take a while to germinate and then seemingly take ages to thicken up - what's the deal? How hard can it be for it to grow a root?

I really have to stop looking at them - I am sure that's the secret.

Have you noticed how much more frustrating it is to grow underground crops which you can't see? Drives me mad!

yes i know exactly where your coming from, i have to stop myself from pulling just one for a quick look to see how big it is!!!! HAVE TO BE PATIENT! Mich

thanx again to all, i tried slug pellets and BINGO slime nearly gone!! will keep a close eye on them though from now on...still not sure if it was water retention stuff in the bag or slugs/ snails. CHEERS MICH

If they are outdoor cucumbers they can be outside now. I've got some in the ground and some in big containers (because there's not enough veg plot left!
