Carrots

I know it looks odd, but I have built a makeshift wall around my precious carrots to prevent root fly. My gardening neighbour informed me that the cheeky beggars can jump a little bit off the ground, then burry down beneath the soil & destroy the carrot crop! He recommended that I build a sort of barrier around the crop:

I planted these in February, straight in the ground. I also dug a bit of sand in this section of my veg patch, because carrots like their soil more on the sandy side. I have monitored them, & when the tops peek up from the soil, it's around this time that the carrots are ready. I planted mine in 2 stages, to produce a longer crop. Here's the 1st half:

& no root fly! Looking gooooood!
