[Tilted Irish Kilt]

TEXOKIE:" Carrots. I also have a couple of different kinds of CARROTS that I want to try.
I did manage to sprout some in the garden last year, but they did not make it.
This year I’m going to try little ones that do not require deep soil.
Onions. I still plan to set out the onion sets Darlin and I got at the grocery store!"

Consider lightening up the soil, especially if you have clay ! Add sand , vermiculite , potting soil ,last years leaves, especially add compost
Around here , I always add sand, vermiculite , or old chopped-up leaves to all 'root crops '.
A lighter soil will result in straighter carrots , and fewer crop deformities .

Oh, TIKilty, thanks so much for your advice. We DO have clay soil! I was going to put my experiments in pots, but I might have to go for a ground plot, as I might run out of pots!...in which case, it would be critical to do as you suggest!

I just read your suggestion to Darlin, who definitely ratifies it!
