Why carrots grow hairy and bearded: annoying mistakes of inexperienced gardeners
Usually, the problem is faced by those who forgot to harvest their crops on time.
The carrot becomes shaggy and hairy because it is preparing for winter and begins to take root, so that it can later produce a flower stalk with seeds.
That is why many thin white roots appear.
Such fruits also change in taste and become bitter.
If the weather is cloudy and rainy, the roots grow faster.
But it happens that a problem arises even in cases where the harvest is collected on time.
The reason is lack of watering.
In this case, the root crop produces additional roots to better extract moisture from the soil.
It also happens that a vegetable not only grows such a “beard” of roots, but also branches out.
That is why it is very important to follow all the rules of agricultural technology, water and harvest the fruits on time in order to end up with beautiful and tasty vegetables.
