Carrot comp

i'm ready are you?

Looks very pro I must say. Have you just planted 1 seed in each of those?

3 seed each tube i will pick out the 2 weak ones

Wow, you are really taking this seriously Stevo , I cannot wait to see what comes out of those tubes

i know it sound silly but i have always wanted to grow big carrot... when i watch these garden tv show my dad used to grow huge onions for show he used to great i must take after him

I don't know how to grow carrots but my nan grows carrots, potatoes, strawberries and raspberries. I'll steal one of hers nah, I can't grow anything, but hope you end up with a giant carrot

Green fingered aswell my god you do have many talents! I am going to try but dont know what they will turn out like funny shape knowing my luck!

they may only grow the normal size or they could grow huge who knows it part of the fun

I might give it a go, just to see

I think we should another competition for who has the funniest shaped carrot

it's not hard tare you just need to get 2 pipe cut to about 33" fill it up with some mud and add a couple of seed and water it everyday

you cant planet it deep becasue it wont grow i put my over top and just put and little bit over it then water it

I may be being thick but can I put my pipes in the garden or do they have to be in a pot?

it's up to you i only put my in bucket becasue my back garden is all grass so i cant put them in the ground

I've got about 30 of them growing, but they're on the allotment for eating!

If they get too big they go all woody & don't taste nice! But we're all looking forward to seeing how much bigger yours are than everybody else's!

Your carrot tubes do look very professional, though!

I might have a go at that myself if I can find a couple of tubes.........
