All my beds are doing well with healthy little sprouts begging to be thinned... EXCEPT for the carrots. If I look REALLY hard, I can see just a few little green threads above the ground...few and far between and nothing equivalent to the labor put into square-foot gardening for their bed. Fresh seeds, too. I'm really tempted to plow them under and start the bean towers therein.
Had a couple of carrots overwinter in a shady bed. Gorgeous tops. Pulled them after a few months and they were all tops and no real root (I mean 4" long and 1/4" diameter.) Okay. I can readily give up considering 5-lbs is $2.99 at the grocery store. "Uncle!"
