@Andreamarie Me too, but I kept mine in containers this year & spread slug killer so hopefully they're secured. What variety are these?

I think they are Chantenay @zylo. I remember choosing ones more suitable for heavy soil this time βΊ

@Andreamarie Never heard if that Variety , though I admittedly am new to carrot growing. I have heard that it's a good idea to do #companionplanting with carrots alongside onions because the strong smell deters Carrot fly, I personally haven't had a problem with carrot fly but thought this tidbit could be useful to a fellow carrot grower in future βΊ

Thank you @zylo that's a really useful tip βΊ

@Andreamarie you're welcome βΊ
Forgot all about my carrots and they're rather large!
