Don’t Panic, Carrot Returns

Gordon Bennett, those weeds are growing like crazy.

I made an attempt on the optimistically named carrot bed and retrieved enough speedwell and thistles to fill a compost barrel. I also uncovered the carrot, previously presumed abducted.

It appears alive and well, unless it’s one of those annoying weeds that masquerade as the spitting image of a carrot.

Oh I am very impressed and envious at your carrot. Is it just the one? Even so…..

I have seedlings coming up at the allotment (seed tape seems to work) but whether they’ll progress or not remains to be seen.

I remember once carefully weeding a row of very small carrot seedlings – then suddenly realising that those “carrots” were also growing all over the allotment – and were in fact weeds that looked like carrots. I did feel a complete idiot at the time.
Yours does look reliably carroty.

I’ve got those carrot weeds allover as well – I wonder what they are.
