Hi
Carrots need a a light friable well composted moist soil to grow and expand if it is too hard they will not grow.
I have been slack and with no time have not planted anything this year.
But from the mass of flowers I am going to have a massive Blue Berry crop this year.
My Lime tree is also a mass of white perfumed flowers and so are my Mandarins and Oranges so it looks like I will have a good citrus crop this year.
