I grow mine in buckets with netting over the top it’s the only way I can grow them without carrots fly damage.
I only grow carrots in the poly tunnel, no issues with carrot fly and they grow In Raised beds so watered every evening no fear of them drying out.
Ooooh they all look great! I'm in limbo right now, old polytunnel had to come down and new greenhouse not up yet. Missing being inside somewhere! I love tunnels and greenhouses, they are little oasises ( dont know if thats a word lol) of peace and nature.
I like the word ‘ oasises’
I’ve been hiding in mine from the rain not really doing much apart from arm-pitting my toms.
Stella this morning, send for the rspca!

View of my outdoor potato drills, I cut down all the stems on Saturday as a number of them got hit with blight, so to save the spuds I got rid of the plant leaves and stems.
