Growing Tips

Thought I'd make the most of my time visiting the family garden expert the other day so I made the point of getting some extra tips for growing vegetables for everyone.


Baby carrots are perfect as a lunchbox snack/filler and are so easy to grow in your garden, patio pots, windowsills etc etc (all they need is about a 20cm depth). You can buy seeds from local garden centres for small carrot varieties.

The following tips help to produce a good crop of baby carrots...

• FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD - Use fertile soil (garden compost or fertile soil from garden centres)
• BRING ON THE WATER - Keep the soil moist
• NICE AND COSY - The soil should be warm (this means planting in March/June to get a summer crop)
• LET THERE BE LIGHT - Grow in an area of the garden or a widow that recieves plenty of sunlight.

Enjoy!
