Plant your carrots on Easter Monday?

Planted 2 types of parsnips - Little Gem and Guernsey 1/2-long, a few seeds to a station, ~10 stations to a row, 10 rows. (put the fleece back on afterwards)
Also planted a couple of rows of Salsify.
Finally planted 3 rows of carrots - direct sowings, thinly sown, - 1 row of each of: Giant Red, Chantenay Royal and some baby carrots.
We're planning to sow some carrots indoors for transplanting, and some others in newspaper pots directly into the ground, with a view to helping them not go wiggly.

Everything else looking ok at the allotment. There were some rogue frenchmen playing boules. Very peculiar.

Threw away the Kale/Spinach sown the other week since it all germinated at the same time along with some very un-squashlike germinating from the squash pots, so I think i must have spilt some seed into everything. Resowed the kale and romanescos.
