It turns out that if you harvest your carrots on time, you can increase it by 50%!
The whole point is that, according to the calculations carried out, the greatest growth of root crops occurs in the period starting from the first days of September and ending on the 20th-25th day of this month.
At this time, the mass of root crops increases by half.
Carrots stop growing in the fall, when the thermometer drops to 4-6 degrees Celsius.
This is the reason why this orange and crisp vegetable should be harvested in late September or early October, depending on the weather.
After the carrot leaves its familiar “house” and appears on the surface of the earth, do not forget to trim the tops, leaving petioles approximately 1 cm in size.
If you leave this part of the plant untouched, the carrot will soon begin to wilt and as a result, from elastic it will become flabby.
This is due to the fact that carrot leaves evaporate moisture at a high rate, which they take from, among other things, root vegetables.
