Thank you for your detailed message, Edd. How kind!
I will, most certainly, try again. The garden is large enough to grow millions of them but FULL of lumps of chalk, unfortunately; so, hard work is required!
Make your own carrot seed tape out of toilet tissue - bog roll. (you can find out how to on Youtube.) It is simple. I tried it this year. You space the carrot seed as recomended on the packet then bury the tape half an inch deep. All of the seed germinated (it took a little longer than normal) and no thinning.
Thank you very much indeed for your words of encouragement, 1Runnybeak1 and Mel M. I must admit I've never heard of the loo paper method but once Christmas is over I will search it on Youtube.
