Yummy. You can't beat a few fat strawberries with whipped cream.

shopping

29 March 2011 21:49:17
went shopping with jeaicfc and got carrots and two packets of flowers (seeds)
Jacinta Jacinta 29 March 2011 22:22:32

What flower seeds did you buy, Ethan?

Moya Moya 29 March 2011 23:07:03

Just reading a book that says to sow your carrot seed at the end of May or beginning of June. Klaus Laitenberger - Jeaic's mum knows about him - says it help to avoid carrot root fly!!

Jacinta Jacinta 29 March 2011 23:22:15

Moya, carrot root fly cannot fly anything above 12 - 18 inches high. Lucky for me. I have sown them in window boxes which are raised to waist level.

Moya Moya 29 March 2011 23:35:31

Do you have good results from that? Klaus is saying he has tried a few things and covering the crop/sowing late are what he finds works.

Jactinta I have had problems with carrot root fly -maybe will grow them in window boxes in future.

Jacinta Jacinta 29 March 2011 23:37:12

Works for me, Moya.  :)

moya, i cover the carrots with the frost protection fleece & it keeps them away

Moya Moya 31 March 2011 00:18:30

Jacinta Jacinta 28 March 2011 18:26:52

You will have to download some photos now to accompany your journals. And create some albums for us all to have a look. Great stuff, Ethan. Looking forward to hearing how well they do.
