When working with any crop, it is important not to miss the harvest deadline.
If you forget about carrots, they may simply crack, making it impossible to store them for a long time.
But it is not worth harvesting too early, as the carrots will not have time to become filled with sweetness and nutrients.
What signs will help determine the date of carrot harvesting
Information from the manufacturer
Smart gardeners always leave seed labels or at least write down all the important information in a corresponding notebook.
In this case, it will not be difficult to calculate the most suitable date for harvesting.
Tops
It is also always worth assessing the condition of the tops. If the carrots are ripe, they become dry and yellow. If the tops are still juicy and green, it is too early to prepare for harvesting.
Special attention in September
The first month of autumn is traditionally considered ideal for harvesting carrots. As a rule, carrots become ripe closer to the end of September.
