If the polythene is left on too long now the seeds have appeared, they may get too leggy or scorched from the direct light passing through polythene. Therefore I thought I would raised it slightly.
To do this, I simply place a large flower pot in the center and place the polythene over the top like a tent. To help prevent direct light scorching the new seedlings, I put some fleece under the polythene. I did this for all 5 Carrot drums.
Looks blinkin good Darren - you seem to have had a good weekend.
ReplyDeletePersonally I dont think that growing long root veg is for girls! It just about finished me off today filling the rest of those drumms!
I saw once in gardening series for australia gardeners about growing carrot similar like what you are doing. But have not seen the actual process. Very interesting. Looking forward on the progress.
ReplyDeleteWell H, don't give up, once they are filled they are done
