I'm curious about how carrots would do in straw.

... they sure don't like the gravel where I try to grow them.

According to the book you can grow up to 48 carrots in a bale

SO.. how's the SBG going?
I've had reasonably good germination on my spinach & lettuces... but the seem to have stalled for a bit. Waiting for that day when I walk out and say "OH MY! Those have really grown!"

We'll my tomato and pepper starts haven't gotten noticeably bigger yet but two of my okra are up two summer squash one winter squash the beets are noticeable and the carrots just popped up two cukes two pole beans and one bush bean attempting to sprout. Will post photos when my phone decides to quit being slow
