These carrots had humble beginnings...As I discovered this Summer, planting carrots is actually really fiddley. The seeds are tiny and a wind-up to separate and plant. Just when I was nearly finished Paddy and Mousey turned up and before long Mousey and I had thrown/pushed each other into the freshly planted beds (I don't think Phil saw thankfully!). When the seedlings came up they were very patchy (due to me not paying enough attention when I was planting I think) and we were considering whether to replant completely. But they they turned into the most fantastic crop. We have had Carrots with every meal since August, and later this week they are all coming up and going into Tea-chests full of compost so that they will last through to the Spring.
BTW take a closer look at the dog in the top picture. I think she looks extremely suspicious!
