The time to plant carrots, is late March, to early July
Carrots are a great source of beta-carotene, vitamins C and K.
Carrots were cultivated as early as 1000 BC. 
The first carrots were purple or reddish-purple
The orange carrots we know today were developed in the 17th century by the Dutch.

Newbiggin Allotment Shop is a not for profit community Shop run by volunteers.
Perfect at this time of year for feeding the birds. You can get a small bag, weighed out for you by a volunteer, or buy a big sack to save even more money.

We are so lucky to have so many allotments in Newbiggin-By-The-Sea. And plots become vacant on a regular basis, so we have a relatively short waiting list.
Why not pop into the shop and join the queue for an #allotment #newbigginbythesea #newbiggin #allotmentlife

We've got weed matting in the shop for £1.40 a metre.
