How do you make the little beggers grow long and carrot shape?

my dad used to say that carrots grow well in sandy soil.

and he knew his onions, my dad

Did you buy these seeds?

Round carrots

Or EO is right.

In some freak of continuum, I have also just removed my carrots and they were like yours. However, speaking to a gardener for advice for next year, he suggested thinning is the secret as I just tipped alot of seeds in a large pot.

Better pray they don't see you having carrots

Those are the carrots I grew............

They are really nice.

Also couldn't grow them in the soil because the soil is clay and stony so had to grow them in a pot........

Oh and I thinned them out.

There are are far too many vegetable-related threads in General.

Toolpusher - you need more mushrooms.
