    I sowed some Kingston F1 carrots about a 6 weeks ago and although they've germinated they haven't put on much in the way of growth. Seedlings are probably 4" high. Is there any point in trying to over-winter these do you think? The carrots would be miniscule!

    In a better year i'd say leave them in & hope the season goes on a bit longer.

    That was my thinking too. This year has been almost a write off! Think I'll clear them and get on with soil improving
