Katrin Carrots And Root Fly

For the last three years we've grown Katrin and Nantes carrots. Interestingly Katrin have been consistently less susceptible to carrot root fly - these haven't been covered during any stage of growth. Nantes in the next row (not pictured) were affected.

 Lettuce Lolla Rossa and Radicchio Palla Rossa. Both need to be out soon as this bed's earmarked for garlic.

 This isn't a staged photo - the hawk was wedged so tight it couldn't move. Both birds were successfully rescued and released.

 Three lovely Burpless cukes
