Do purple ones count? Or do they have to be orange?

you could use a jain pipe about 3/4 foot long

do 3/4 so just incase of something happens

sorry drain pipe

So what do you want a carrot or a drain pipe! I had a fab looking carrot last year it was really rather rude wish I had took pic now!

I wanna grow one now!

I been wanting to do this for for years i be up for it if anybody want to join our little comp

if you have wilko near by they will have all what you need i dont think it will cost an huge mount of money

we all have to planet the seed at the same time

Small problem it has to go outside! Do they make indoor carrots?

where is your door? is that our side?

It would get stolen like my ash tray always does!

don't you have any where you could keep it?

No oh I wanted to grow 1!

We could grow cress

do you know anybody close by who as a garden?

Carrots will grow inside as long as there is sufficient light etc and they are watered enough.

I'll grow cress with you Janey (I just picked the last of my purple carrots and it is too cool here to plant more for a while yet!)

... and you could use the gigantic carrot growing box as a table while they grow

you only need to buy a cheap drain pipe cut it down to the size you want and tape them up i'm going do 5 i think and fill it up with compost

Thats cool I love trimming their hair up! good bit of practice for me.All this carrot talk has made me feel like going on the garden.................think I will!

Thats a great idea defo gonna have a go at that!

some people use sand but i dont have that much room in my back garden i think just using pipe will be cheap also

if you get it right your carrot can be like 2/3 foot long lmao but i be happy just to get foot one for the first time

We're doing cress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
