Psila rosae


That's Carrot Root Fly to you and me pal !

We thought we had taken all possible steps to prevent this little bugger from infecting our crops. Alas, we failed !!

All of the carrots grown behind the enviromesh screen have been infected and we are now dissecting our carrots to find sufficient for the pot.

However, we will not be beaten.

A row of Flyaway F1 has been sown today (yes, I know it maybe too late) and we are hoping that an Indian Summer will provide sufficient warmth to give us a carrot crop in the Autumn.

We are holding our breath.
