Want Your Carrots All Year Round? A Way to Get Several Harvests in a Season
Carrots are a crop familiar to many gardeners and can be found in almost every garden plot.
To get a good harvest of large root crops, you will have to try. Only by following the basic rules of agricultural technology will you be able to harvest several crops per season.
How to sow carrots correctly
When sowing the crop in spring, you may be disappointed by the late, sparse shoots, their slow development, and the first harvest will be collected at best by the end of summer.
In this situation, the right solution would be to sow carrots in the winter.
The advantages of this type of sowing include an early harvest.
Sowing before winter will help to gather an early harvest of root crops. Carrots will be on your table already in July.
Traditionally, sowing is done in November, when it starts to freeze a little.
In September or October, you need to remember to dig up the soil to remove weed roots and prepare the bed for carrots.
A few buckets of ready-made compost or rotted manure in the garden bed wouldn’t hurt.
For sowing carrots in winter, it is better to choose fresh seeds. The seeds are sprinkled with a 1.5 cm layer of compost.
