The good thing about Rowan though, is that local Authorities tend to use it in their planting so it tends to be prolific in urban areas too.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05534626082405777284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-82422351174141215532010-07-22T22:14:33.553+01:002010-07-22T22:14:33.553+01:00Hi Tracey

How about putting the carrrots in deep planters filled with compost and sand and then surrounded by chive plants. The smell of the chives is meant to drive off the carrot fly if I remember correctly, but at least that way you would be able to get carrots in carefully controlled planting medium. Just a thought until you can get the wire worm under control. I too have my eye n the rowan berries. For the past two years I have wanted to make some rowanberry jelly to use as an additive to gravy to give a little more flavour etc. Mind you seem to have more access to our wild fruits etc living out in beautiful countryside.<br /><br />pattypan<br /><br />xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295421286576646745.post-4217175931546187092010-07-22T17:33:00.868+01:002010-07-22T17:33:00.868+01:00Thanks!
