Busy, being a parent helper at my kid's school, and attending weekly free art classes at a local community centre, as well as working on a series of artworks for the end of year group exhibition!
Lazy... to type up new blog entry. :P
Anyway, I have decided yesterday to dig up the mini carrots that I have planted almost 5 months ago from seedlings! I would have left them in the soil for a bit longer if it's not because they, or the self-watering container they were in, were attracting too many ngats!! A few of the carrot leaf stalks seemed to be drying out as well!
I managed to harvest 8 decent sized mini carrots out of the 10+ seedlings I planted. Though, all of them weren't as long as the shop bought ones, but they were just as wide, around a little finger size. I guess it was due to a mistake I made early on by not watering from the top, and was relying on the self-watering container to do its job; watering from the bottom. :( Not too sure if they would grow to be longer if left in the soil for a longer period.
