Why 2000 Carrots?

Why 2000 Carrots?
Carrot seeds often come in packs of 2,000.
Quote from the Missus "Two thousand carrots - what am I going to do with that lot? - Well I suppose I could make cakes!"
Cakes rock!

Competition for Wimbledon


We have been harvesting our crops!!!


The birds and I have been sharing the strawberries.  Initially the ratio was 3 to the birds and 1 to me but covering the patch with netting helped reverse the ratio somewhat.

At the time of writing we have had about a dozen, delicious, juicy strawberries and 1 radish!
Worked out against the plot, that's £7 per strawberry.  Jolly good value when compared to Wimbledon!

... having done a little extra research
28,000 kilos are consumed at Wimbledon so we have a little way to catch up (they actually cost £2.25 for 10 so we will need a few more to reduce the price to 22.5 each  (377 in fact) - will we do it? Probably not, even though the crop is looking strong. Better harvest some more radishes!
