Carrots in 'tub'

Following the allotment program on BBC I tried to grow some carrots in a 'tub'. In this case a crate for hydraulic components. The idea behind using a tub is that it keeps the carrot fly away. The carrot fly is too lazy too fly higher than 2', thats why the 'tub'.

Don't forget the bunnies though. I placed a bale of straw, slide 4, (for the straw potatoes) next to the 'tub' and bunnies manage to get in and went digging. Caused a real mess, slide 6. The recovery of the carrots were amazing.

And yesterday only to find a mouse (presumable) went digging tunnels in the 'tub'. The carrots showed great strengh this time round.

The carrots is coming along nicely. It survived the first frost and the roots are forming nicely.
