Sow maincrop carrots, beetroot and Parsnips

Mary hard at work sowing parsnips

Hi lads according to Klaus Laitenberger on Garrai Glas we should all be sowing our main crop carrots and parsnips this week or next. As today is a root day I'm doing it this evening.If you want to stick with the moon it's a root day tomorrow and Friday. You could do beetroot and other root crops while you are at it. Read more about Klaus here on  Klaus's website.

Before I sow though I will be watering the ground really well and if it stays dry over the coming days I will have to keep it moist to help seedlings germinate-don't forget about this part or all your diligent sowing may just be in vain!
