Thanks much Gimme...great information. I did not get a chance to start anything yet...but hope to today. I was looking around the stores for bigger peat pots...but they are pretty much gone. I am using 16 ounce styrofoam cups for my tomatoes...I wonder if I could use these for the carrots as it is much deeper...and then carefully transplant the carrots as you describe.
I purchased two carrot varities (can't think of the names off the top of my head...too many tomato names taking up space
) that are supposed to do better in heavier soil. I was thinking of digging a 10-12 inch ditch and filling it in with a lighter soil mix--I have a good amount of Promix left over.
Will keep you posted on how things turn out...again thanks for all of the help everyone.
Keep warm (darn cold weather
)
