It would be wrong of me to only record my kitchen and garden triumphs. Here then, is my latest disaster…
It turns out I didn’t thin my carrots enough. Despite being fed and watered regularly, they simply had no room to grow, and I’m now left with these little tiddlers. Probably not even enough to dip in some hummus. Such are the challenges facing a novice balcony gardener. Oh well, I’ll know next time.
oh, I think the same thing happened to my beetroots, they seem to be all root and no beet. I thinned them out a few weeks ago and am hoping but I think it may be too late
Hi Dee. I left a few carrots in the pots in the soil also, in the hope they’ll grow a bit more, but I think the growing season is over. Ah well, there’s always Tesco…
