Good weather.

The weather has been unusually favourable over the last few days with the result the soil is drying out and warming up. It will be worth thinking about getting some carrots, beetroot and turnips sown direct outside in the next couple of weeks.

For the best flavour and reliability try: Carrot Amsterdam Forcing (for early baby carrots) and Carrot Autumn King (for huge carrots that will store over winter), Beetroot Boltardy, Turnip Snowball and Turnip Gold Ball.
