I'm trying something different this year which I haven't tried before. Carrot tapes.
They've been in almost three weeks so far but nothing to be seen as yet and yet, the carrot seeds sown at the same time are showing. I've even got 15 seedlings!!
Not trying tatties this year. I can only grow them in pots and finding it more trouble than they're worth in my limited space. Trying other veg instead. Where's the sun?
I've arrived too! Thought I hadn't, but seem to be OK now - thanks to advice from "You now what" forum. Used to be "Perennial Grass" but have gone off them, now that my penisetum hasn't reappeared....

And a warm hello to you too, FloBear
I've lost count of how many ex-BBC folk have arrived here now - does anyone have an up to date number?
Evening All!
Managed to get here at last from, you know, the previous forum?
Hopefully some of you may remember I tried to give you a laugh over my first attempt of growing carrots!
Looking forward to all your excellent posts.
And I look forward to seeing yours, Zulu.
I do hope that your carrots fare well this year

On holiday, I think.
Your tapes may take fractionally longer as they need to be dampened well - not that that should be a problem in the current weather!
Now, where's Grajean? I know she's joined here....
Hi Alina W
Glad that we have not lost you .I always look for your comment and advice.
Mike W
I have arrived!
I am having the same problem as Zulu with carrot tapes, not a sign of a seedling so far but plenty of rain so could the seed have rotted?
Hi folks
Just thought I'd drop in and see where everyone was off to.
Off to peruse a few threads now.
I thought I'd answered - oh, well.
Mike, you don't get rid of me that easily
Grajean, glad that you finally made it, and Piggin too.
