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!

Keeping the dates straight!

In my attempt to keep you up to date with our planting, we have been putting in potatoes - yesterday we planted out first earlies, today we planted the late earlies and at the weekend probably main crop and second earlies. A few weeks ago we planted first earlies and lates both of which are doing well. 

Haven't a clue which Potato this one is
 - but it's doing well!


All clear on that then?


Now, harvesting.  You harvest earlies, and first earlies when they flower but lates, second earlies and mains when the foliage dies down.

If you put earlies in late do they become lates or are they still early?
