Carrots and stones

[Urban Ayisha]

To what extent should i be removing stones to sow carrots? I have single digged and weeded so far and that took 3 hours!!

I have quite stoney soil and I only remove the stones from the actual row where I sow the seeds (same for all veg) so they don't prevent them germinating. It's not worth worrying about as there will always be some carrots that fork or grow wonkily but that's normal!

Depends if you have the patience to peel wonky carrots as to how many stones you move. It's a real bum job moving them ain't it?

No probs! Let's hope your carrots grow beautifully in lots of interesting shapes!

Yep, as old as I am, the '3-legged' carrots still make me giggle uncontrollably - especially if the centre 'leg' is larger than the other two....

OK, so I'm a big kid.....
