Good luck with your new vegie beds Clara. I am just starting my second year with raised beds so I can tell you some of my mistakes from last year. We didn't raise the beds high enough and my carrots were some of the most bent I have ever seen, they couldn't grow down far enough so grew sideways. Usi...

We has the same problem with our carrots but with plenty of water and mulch to stop evaporation they came good, they are probably a little bit shocked to be moved so give them a treat with a seaweed solution and they should be fine

Hi folks, i'm pretty new to gardening and have just had my first crop of beetroot come up. Excuse my ignorance but how do I know when they are ready to be picked? The crowns are about 2 inches out of the ground at the moment.
