Oh, forgot about the carrots.....mine rarely do great, either, but they are okay. And while they are cheap in the super, I find garden grow carrots, like most other things, just have better taste, even if the crop is so-so.

I try to plant shorter varieties, what with the rocky NE soil. Carrots really prefer a sandy soil as opposed to rocky loam. I still get stubbly, "hairy" carrots, but some are nice, as long as they don't get "tunneled" by what I think are wire worms.....this year, they are going under Remay to try and prevent that.....
