Moon phase: Week 2 (waxing)
Cleared the Roots bed today, and found a surprisingly good batch of carrots! I had been a bit worried that the soil on the allotment was too heavy for root vegetables, but on the other hand that side of the plot was well dug in the spring.
So, here they are, and yes, they are supposed to be yellow, not orange! The variety is "Jaune Obtuse de Doubs", from The Real Seed Catalogue. They're not quite as sweet and tasty as I'd hoped, but that might be down to the horribly wet summer. Still, I'm as pleased as punch to have grown my first carrots!
