It is easy to get large fruits if you remember these simple rules.

As experienced gardeners note, the beds need to be thinned out so that the vegetables do not need nutrition and moisture.

Particular attention should be paid to watering the plants. After the shoots appear, the soil should be moistened with small portions of water, but often.

In the 4-leaf phase, the root crop itself begins to form.

During this period, carrots can be watered less frequently. But so that the water spreads to the depth of the root and growing root crop. Do not allow the soil to dry out or there to be an excess of moisture.

Early varieties can be watered up to 12 times during the growing season, and mid-season and late varieties – up to 25 times. It is important to focus on the climate and soil. The procedure can be stopped 2 weeks before harvesting.

Fertilizing is also important to obtain a quality harvest.

Organic matter should be introduced in the fall, or even better - under the predecessors. Nitrogen fertilizers are not needed during the growth period, they will stimulate the development of green mass, not fruits.
