I never used to plant much in rows, generally favouring more finely-engineered grid patters for the smaller gardens of my past. Now that I have more space, and am using hoes and weed knives for weed control, I’m finding myself using string lines and rows more often. It makes me feel very conservative and old-fashioned, and slightly uncomfortable. Pictured at right is a triple row of winter carrots, planted in June for an October harvest. The 50-feett long by 3-feet wide row contains approximately 450 carrots.

What do you mean old-fashioned? Nothing wrong with straight rows in the garden. The carrots look great. What variety (ies) are they?
