FLY AWAY F1 CARROTS

The carrots, Daucus Carrota, in my garden have been about as successful as the sugarsnap peas.  Perhaps that is a little unfair, seeing as how I only have about 12 pea pods growing and I have had a good handful of carrots.  But does it count if the biggest carrot is only about 5 inches long to the very skinny tip?  I think not.


I cannot blame the carrot seed though.  The reason that they haven't grown is the lack of sunshine this year and the lower than usual temperatures.  On the bright side, the carrot fly didn't get at them, and they tasted lovely.  I shall probably try growing them again next year.  I grow them in a tub so it's no big deal giving it a go.


Fly Away F1 carrots are a type that are supposed to deter carrot fly.   I guess it works.  Despite their size, these are absolutely perfect.
