Now you need to pass something to your friend and play dumb! I must admit I didn't look too closely at the picture- schoolboy error. At least you know you have some nice flowers!
Scuby I hope you're going to sow your carrots though now that you know what to do !!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Here is a picture of a carrot gone to seed. I left it to provide flowers for the hoverflies. It was in the onion patch. This year its the courgette patch.
Morning David, I have similar problem ! My beetroot and radish seem all leaf wonder why, my 6 yr old grandson can't wait to eat what he has grown, but its very disappointing ant tips ....
Thanks everyone for the carroty advice. All these years geardening, and never really tried carrots after a couple of failures donkeys years ago. Never grown Cosmos either! Got potatoes, spring onions, beetroot and mooli growing between the fuchsia, pelargoniums and sweet peas etc. ( Real ones, honest - I sowed them all myself!), and all seem to be doing ok. after a very late start. But then I do live in the frozen North. Lancashire. And its nor raining!!
It was a late start to the year but everything is catching up just fine now here in the emids. I'm seeing some unusual combinations of flowers though - still have foxgloves just coming into bud while the delphiniums are in full bloom! Tomatoes weren't sown until good Friday and are now looking the healthiest they've ever looked in the GH - many fruit but none quite ripe just yet. Brassicas romping away as are the onions. The carrots and parsnips went in very late so don't expect decent size roots until much later in the year, especially the parsnips - won't start pulling those 'til Christmas morning.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
