Something is up with the carrots. We pulled some to eat tonight, and when we peeled them they had black patches beneath the skin, almost like something had been in there eating them.

I don’t know whether it’s the whole run of just the ones we pulled today, but I suspect this is an attack of carrot fly. Considering we planted a carrot fly-resistant variety, that’s very disappointing.

On a more positive note, the peppers are going great guns, and we took the first from one of the trees today. There are another six or so on the same bush, and plenty more to come, even before looking at the other plants.
