that what eating my carrots

oooh - yuck. Puff of insecticide?

Makes you appreciate our farmers, doesn't it.

Never heard of it! Have you found out how to get rid of it?

Eeewwwww not nice, pick them off and relocate them

i'm killing the little damage makers my poor carrots

Ekk I do not like anything like that, they creep me out!

They're nightmares. We had loads of those on a firethorn in our garden years ago. We thought they were caterpillars at first.

Little sh1ts

kill one today i keep checking  i think i may have couple big carrots here my pipe one may not be eat able but aslong the root is long i would class that an success

The birds would love these little blighters Steve, either to eat for themselves or feed their chicks.

Idea - pick them off and put them in a bowl in your garden (well away from the carrots!)

Two greens in one go - save your carrots and feed the birds  

i only seen one today just hoping that it next year i'm going build something to protect them

Yes there's a always next year Steve, we live and learn.

Just a thought; you are obviously not growing these carrots to be fresh tender young roots on your plate - are you intending to enter them for the local longest carrot competition?

i'm not ready for show yet maybe one day   i love carrot i watch something on tv once and i tought i give it a go after the our cress topic

Looking forward to seeing your carrots Steve

me too i want to pull them up now  they got 3/4 months of growing yet
