Dear ,  

  HAVE YOU Seen the Easter Bunny?

We're having some trouble finding him in all this snow! 

But let's hope you don't see too many of these Bunnies once the snow is gone!

We can't wait to bring you the BEST of 2013!

Even though we have not seen the Easter Bunny, Karsten is still looking for him.

Carrots varieties include short, medium and long-rooted types.

The short-rooted carrots can be suitable for growing in containers or deep window boxes and even include small round ball-like types. They are the earliest to be sown and the quickest to mature. Small, quick and tasty! Good varieties to go for are the Parmex (a round type) or the Ideal Speedy Seeds (a type of Nantes which is used as a baby vegetable and ideal for growing in containers on patios).

The medium-rooted types are sown slightly later than the short-rooted carrots and are usually the best bet for harvesting a successful crop.

The long-rooted varieties take the longest to mature and are the most fussy about the quality of the ground. Fine for showing off, but not the sweetest taste.

Carrots like:

• cool, wet weather
• lots of sunshine - choose a sunny spot but keep them well watered
• fertile, sandy and well-draining soil, without loads of stones in it,
• onions, chives, radishes, sage and rosemary.

Carrots dislike:

• long, hot, dry spells which bakes the ground hard
• soil which is heavy, consists largely of clay or is full of stones
• ground that has been prepared with manure or compost
• too much nitrogen - it spoils their taste
