Carrots are high in vitamin A which is good for rejuvinating your sight – see they really do help you to see in the dark! Nutrient availability is increased with light cooking. Roots are storage organs, so shop bought produce can contain pesticide residues – all the more reason to grow your own!
Toby's Tip
Growing in containers, shallow soils? Want early orlate crops? Pest and disease resistance? Whatever your requirement, you will find a variety listed here to suit your needs. Warm up soil with fleece or polythene for early sowings outside.
