Almost 3 weeks since digging up some carrots to find very little under the surface, I dug a few more up yesterday and this is what I found. The biggest is about 4cm, still too small to eat but its proof that there is growth. Slowbut real growth. I will leave the plot for another 2 weeks before I try again. Hopfully by then there might be carrots big enough to eat.The beetroot are still really small. Maybe they will be worth another look in 3 to 4 weeks time.
The lettuce is coming on strong. 
The 3rd section is just starting to appear and the 1st lot is really growing well.
I think the main thing that is going to effect all my planting is the amount of room the vegetables have to grow. Once sown I didnt thin out any of the seedlings and now they are growing each container is starting to look very overcrowded. Hopefully once I pick some veggies that will act as enough thinning out.
Next year I will think more about thinning earlier. As its my first year I didnt think I would have so much success so soon.
