terryd 8,327 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Well I decided today next time I sow carrots don't do rows a foot apart in drills but maybe up on ridges or singles rows. Because when the weeds take off in the middle you can't hoe for fear of burying the carrots popping through. Made some room in the green and took some squash up the plot. in other news some one has been going around stealing rhubarb the scoundrels I think the chairman has started interrogations and its only a matter of time before some one crumbles It's alright Terry I hear the Rhubarb thieves are in "custardy" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie m 668 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Does anyone think that black scaffold netting would be to dark ?? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,327 Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I don't see why. I do find that under the netting you get a little micro climate so maybe black would catch a bit more heat. Doubt we are talking any thing to major one way or the other though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
