Carrots Will No Longer Have Bitter Green Tops: How to Avoid Harvest Problems

Solving this annoying problem is quite simple.

Many gardeners sow carrots, because this vegetable is used to prepare many popular dishes.

But often gardeners face a problem. The root crop's upper part turns green and tastes very bitter. There are several reasons why this happens.

The carrots are turning green

The color of the upper part of the root crop changes under the influence of sunlight. For example, after watering or loosening, the soil settles, revealing about 5-10% of the underground part of the vegetable.

In addition, certain varieties of carrots emerge from the soil and have an elongated shape.

To prevent carrots from turning green

There are two options to solve this problem. First, there are varieties that do not turn green:

• "Red Core";
• "Chantenay";
• "Langeswit Fruitful";
• "Natofi";
• "Aneta F1";
• "Napoli F1";
• "Fiona F1".

Secondly, carrots need to be mulched with hay or straw, and from August until harvest, they need to be hilled.
