I was so glad to read this article. I have attempted carrots twice and they were always ugly. Once in the ground, and they could not wiggle their way through the clay and another year in pots, but tried to separate the seedlings instead of thinning them - I later found out that carrots do not like to be messed with, but I can't bare to kill the little plants. So my husband has forbidden me from growing them again, or so he thinks. I'll give it one more try.
He does rave about his potatoes and eats the fresh green beans.
We donate a great deal of our produce through Plant A Row Lehigh Valley, which is now in its 6th season.
