We are supposed to get some more snow tomorrow. Sigh. Soooo ready for the end of winter. March 25 is our plant carrot date. Think I’ll be planting them in paper cups and waiting a bit. It’s gonna be 20 degrees tonight, so I don’t think much will be growing, so no sense wasting the effort planting outside just yet.

Ugh. So sorry, greeneyes. Have you ever tried the newspaper “pots” that you make yourself? You could just plant those, “pot” & all without disturbing the baby carrot inside. (I tried it with Kraft paper last year. Huge mess, failed spectacularly- but I do have a nice weapon; 4’ x 2” wooden pole, to show for it)
I think I kept them too wet (sitting in a tray with a little water...duh)

Hope it warms up for you folks further north soon. This has been enough Winter to last for a lonnng time.
