Growing carrots is pretty simple and as long as you keep away the carrot fly they are pretty hardy too! On Sunday I decided to see how tasty my carrot growing efforts had been this year.

You can imagine my surprise when I saw my carrot growing efforts as I pulled the biggest monster of a carrot I have ever seen out of the Cultivation Station. In fact, not only is this the biggest carrot I have even grown, but the biggest vegetable I have ever grown!

When growing carrots most people do what I used to do and that is plant them, grow them and then harvest them all when they are ready. Instead I was given a tip by a gardening expert to leave the carrots in the ground until they are needed – and that is exactly how I got that corker!

Growing carrots this year has been really tasty and successful! I can’t wait to harvest the next and hopefully bigger carrot out of the garden!

How have your veg growing efforts been this year?
