Back to growing Carrot tops on the window sill, in a saucer with

Oh my! I remember doing that when I was a small child) Can you
remember, do you cut down the tops before putting it in the saucer?-

If you use the tops of bought carrots, you just leave about 1cm of
carrot, no leaves to deal with.
If home grown then remove all leaves.

Thanks David! I feel a wee growing session with my Grandson coming on)


Here's one he'll like -

Get a glass jar, put a bit of foam, sponge or whatever round the inside of
it, put a few peas or sprouting beans in betweeen the sponge and the glass,
keep it damp, he'll love to see the roots and shoots forming.

We used to do that with blotting paper! No foam in those days!
