I'll look tomorrow when I'm out in the barn to see exactly which one he bought - and let you know.

Thank salty dog
. Sounds like you don't need super soil for carrots. Granddaughter and I had great fun pulling, washing and eating carrots but our little carrots were pathetic. Got some from Joseph I'm excited to try out! Let me know and I'll give it a whirl
