I thought that I would see how the Nantes carrots are doing... wow!In contrast to the Amsterdam (see previous post) they seem to have gone for width more than length. Although actually they are not short either!
The biggest one is 17cm long and over 4cm diameter.
It is still amazingly warm every day with temperatures over 15°C, dropping to 10°C at night. There have been heavy rain showers some days, but not much wind so the carrot grass is still standing and I have high hopes for the parsips :-)
The currants did not do very well. In particular the black currants were pathetic... 40g off one bush! And even the red currants are well under a kilo. They must need feeding and watering better.
The gooseberry bush has produced quite well but apart from a few picked yesterday to eat with some mackerel, I have not picked them yet.
