I did this one year and had about 40 carrots from one packet sown. I now buy carrots in the supermarket as they just take too long to grow. There is also carrot root fly to consider, and that`s why a deep container will bring better success. The carrot root fly will fly low to the ground to lay its eggs, so planting in a high pot or raised bed that has high sides will stop the carrot root fly in its tracks. Good luck with another trail.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-73105515810959242882014-01-04T05:37:04.201-08:002014-01-04T05:37:04.201-08:00Aw!

I didn't cover the seeds properly, just raked them in. Easiest to grow for me is runner beans, broad beans, and courgettes, but you need a lot of space for those.
