lol - I did wonder...

I always assumed that, because they're pretty much bog-standard 'staple' vegeatbles they'd be pretty easy to grow - I was wrong

Saying that, the potatoes did always seem to take quite well - but they were a hell of a nuisance to get back up again. I swear every time I dig over the patch I find another one left over from years ago

I agree with the carrots though, absolutely - they are incredibly difficult to grow. They never seem to grow straight, and are always terribly thin. No, from now on I'll be getting mine from the supermarket - it might not be as fulfilling, but at least can get a meal out of them
