Had a bit of a swap round in the little tunnel today. Had to make space for another fish box, I ( say I, I mean Bob ) brought in from the garden to protect from the windy weather.  Decided it’s a permanent move.  The 2 squash & the ? ( squash, pumpkin, courgette, who knows, it’ll be a surprise     ) will enjoy life in the tunnel.

Your carrots look amazing! I want to grow some like that!!

Lots of carrots I wonder if mine would do better if I left a bucket of them in the GH ?

I'm going to try that next year in MFBs, SC you've started a trend, VC will be making us compete so watch out!

Do keep up     . That’s why I started growing them in buckets because our very own veggie did one of her challenges a couple of years ago.
I’ve continued because I think it works brilliantly     .

 I think they do great inside & it sorts out the carrot fly issues. They do like quite a lot of water in tubs inside, is the only thing. I couldn’t say if they’re any quicker growing inside, as I’ve never growing them outside.

Shoulda figured that.  Wasn't around then, so plead ignorance.   Sounds a brilliant idea.    just shows there's nothing new in this world.  Anyway thanks for showing us newbies some old tricks
