Week 21 - Bed EX3 Planting

This bed was dug and worked down into a fine seedbed into which we sowed:
  • Halblange White Parsnip (2 long rows) - a thick, pointed, half length root variety, which does well in shallower soils
  • Danvers Half Long Carrot (south 1/3 of a long row) - a broad shouldered, short, maincrop variety
  • Chantenay Red Cored Carrot (middle 1/3 of a long row) - an early maincrop variety with smooth stump roots, fine taste and texture
  • Autumn King Carrot (north 1/3 of a long row) - a thick pointed half length maincrop variety which does well in shallower soils and is frost hardy
