Daucus carota subsp. sativus 'Nantes 5'

So pleased with these. I’ve sown lots more in rotation. 🧡

They look really nice 🧡🧡🧡

Wow. They look great

I did early Nantes, they’re tasty too. I’ve also got two more big pots sown in rotation 🧡👍

Wonderful 🥕

Well they say God loves a trier. He obviously doesn’t love me then! My fantastic carrot harvest -chup a chup for size comparison. Form an orderly queue. Don’t all rush at once 😂😂 @bandicoot

That's better than mine! I don't think I'm meant to be a vegetable gardener! Radish and carrots have not been a success!

Thanks for trying to cheer me up Alison 😂😂 @bluefox23 Nothing could be worse than these. First they all went to seed and now this 😱

Brilliant Jason! I’d be worth a fortune if I could do that 😂😂@Jasonsparkes1

Oh don't be down. You can still eat those and I bet they will be yum. 🙂

I’ll let you know Charlotte 🍴🥕@charlotte

Ooohps worth roasting for one 😂😂

You could sell them Morrisons for their wonky range.

Doubt I could fulfil their minimum order Joan @joannie.a

I think I will try again next year Katy. Maybe not from seed though @gj

Keep trying! If you go for the little round ones like market atlas they charge a premium for small ones 😄😂

By the way, kudos for growing a shrimp!

Some of you were wondering what a carrot flower looks like. Well I’m happy to oblige! But I’d rather they had produced carrots instead of flowers 😂 @bandicoot @gjones @carolgs

They really are quite pretty Katy @gjones

Folks. Grateful for some advice. First time growing carrots. Are these producing flowers? If so should I nip out the flower buds? 🥕

Looks like flowers to me - have you tried unearthing one to see if they're ready Nicola? 🥕🥕 @jendren

No I haven’t James. I’ll pull one up tomorrow. 😃 @bandicoot

You might find that the ones with flowers have gone woody inside 😕

Hmm. I think I’ll be lucky to have any carrots Carol even woody ones 😂 @carolgs

The website http://thedirtondirt.com/flowering-carrot/ will give you some idea of what might have happened it's been a long time since I grew carrots 🥕

Aw great Carol. I’ll look it up. Thank you @carolgs

I might just do that. I doubt there will be any carrots. Think our extreme hot weather probably wrecked them @gjones

Update. Pulled a couple up. No carrots 😂. But I’m going to leave them -you never know ... @bandicoot @gjones @carolgs

The flowers are lovely so delicate enjoy them if not the carrot 🥕

I’ll let you know Katy. @gjones

I'll dig up one of my runts for you tomorrow 😀
