One of the more unique experiments that I'm trying this summer season is using my spare Argo Tower strawberry slots to grow Carrots. I purchased this easy to assemble set-up last year with the intention of growing Strawberries and if you take a look at the photograph, you can see my test plants on the top layer. I intend to add some irrigation and fill the rest of the slots with more seasons when the season re-opens in September, but with a couple of months spare and some available space, I though I would give the carrot seeds another go.
As you will recall, I attempted to grown carrots in my Concrete Garden Bed and before the wrath of Debby the carrots were growing well, even if they were a little slow to start, so I've planted two seeds in each of the six slots giving me the potential for twenty four carrots once I thin out any extras. Each bowl is deep enough to allow the carrots to grown and each side gets some full sun each day.
Hopefully soon, I'll be munching on some carrots.
