I'll take a wild guess and say 35lb!!! :)

If you want to have straight lines for planting buy a builders string line and get Nathan to make two steel pegs about 2 foot long by about 3/4" dia with a tee piece on the top. You can then push them in at the ends of the rows and fasten the string between them for a guide. You'll impress everyone then with your straight rows. You can also use different coloured markers measured to the centres you need for each type of plant and impress the boys even further.
As for washing the carrots I would have cut the tops off and put them in the washing machine on rinse with a few handfuls of gravel . That would have washed and peeled them.:) :) Then put them in the tumble dryer and then frozen them whole :)
