WOW! We love BIG carrots, but it can be an awfully time consuming and labor intensive process.
But we have figured out the best way to get a great harvest with most of the work up front allowing you to get a great harvest this growing season.
There are some very simple things that help a lot, but that does not mean that we know everything. This is what works for us. Please share any tips and ask questions so others can be successful as well.
Thanks for watching!
Roger & Family

Great stuff, Roger. I always enjoy your kiddos being involved in your videos.
Thanks 👍 they are getting into the stuff we do and its gettin' funner! one of the twins just won the local fishing derby btw!
The carrots in the beginning looked as big as sweet potatos! Wow!
I know!! they can get huge if they are given space. and good dirt and water
Whoa! Huge carrots!
thanks! it got 2500 views in the first 24 hrs!
I subbed for fishing videos and never realized you have garden content as well. Very cool! There’s an expensive tool that looks like a mini bicycle and seeds carrots perfectly. But it costs $600. I like simple methods even if they’re more time consuming. Much more connection there. And I like the bit about the nutrient deficiencies in your saliva being incorporated into the carrot. You’re raising those kids well it’s nice to see their involvement. Great work man.
Thanks for the sub! and thanks for watching! I might look into that seeding device, but i'l probably just go with the slow method. I appreciate your encouragement!
Thanks for the great tips, I will try it this week. Best wishes from Norway!
let me know how your carrots work! im planting tomorow.
Liked your video, very informative! Willbe looking forward this year to plant as you have.
May I ask what flowers those are in the backround?
I grew a few in water bottles. Hope to do more next time.
I love your tips.
Glad you like them!
Beautiful what a blessing thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! i hope you guys are having a great summer on the lake!
Very good ! Always great to see a update from you and the family. Thank you
Thanks for watching! i had a crazy workload this spring, but back at it now. have you had a chance to fish?
@@RogersRigs got some fishing in, caught a couple, need more tips on how to target perch in spring and summer😄
worm and a bobber works good right now in front of some weeds
@@RogersRigs yup, have got a few, but just like ice fishing them, cant get bait back in front of them quick enough to hold a schools interest, amazing how much they move
Fun tutorial!
Thanks Poodles! we have a lot of fun in the garden!
Really interesting video. I'll try the slabs or old boards. I think I'll make my own seed tape like one of your commenters said. It is a great idea, carrots is the one vegetable I always struggle with. The weeds get big so fast and pulling them always pulls up the carrots.
thanks for watching Dan, yeah, custom seed tape is a great idea. let me know if you make some
Thanks for the great tips for planting carrots, I always had a hard time withe weeds, this way with the boards it will keep the weeds down. and I'll try the tweezers one at a time. Good thing I only have one row.
i hope it goes well. i did not mention int he vid but be super diligen t with the watering for the first few weeks. they are very vulnerable to drying out when they are young
@@RogersRigs Thanks for the watering information.
Love it, do it right the first time
thanks yep that makes everything work better if you start right. THANKS for watching
Well... That was fun!
Have you ever considered starting them inside?
its hard to transplant. the roots get bent.
@@RogersRigs soil blocks
Love the video!
So glad! thanks for the encouragement! do u have a carrot seeding Trick?
How did you store them over the winter?
in a root cellar. ill make a vid to show that . we put 'em in dirt in cardboard boxes.
I think that I will make my own seed tape, using the increased spacing. I can make the tape indoors where it is cooler and the planting will be a bit quicker and easier on my back that way.
Now That's a great idea! brilliant! what will the tape be? i was thinking toilet paper. we have black flies and mosquitos to contend with too, so indoors sounds great!
@@RogersRigs I watched a video I believe it was from the university of Iowa they suggested TP that is septic system safe because it decomposes quicker and they used flour paste on a toothpick to pick up and deposit the seeds.
AWESOME!!!!!! im gonna try that! thanks
nice
Thanks
I need ro.thin carrots and start some more ..
I took a plug.tray.and.started some in there
Then when the non.true leaves. Broke.ground i transplanted them.
.already the.roots were an inch or so long!! All but one took
..its just an experiment which.i.wont.so again.because.its too time.consuming
yeah it seems like getting good carrots is labor intensive. one way or another. thanks for the comment
Now I'm just waiting for the proper way to fillet a carrot... 🥕 🤪
we just cut the heads of and skin 'em. the bones are very thin and melt away when cooked :-) Hi JIM!
@@RogersRigs 😂 Darn! I knew it!
Hi Roger and the Houck’s Family!
There he is how you been
WORK weont CRAZY. 70+ hr weeks and a lot of stuff on top. but i think its over now, or at least slowing down. hows your work been?
@@RogersRigs same raising 3 kids fishing working 60 to 70 hours a week theres time for sleep some days
yup. its crazy time. cant wait till the snow flies!
It’s in the hole!
@John McNamara HAHA 😄 Yes sir!
NO! Instead, mix a thin flour-and-water paste with flour and warm water. Then add your carrot seeds to that paste and mix well. This will disperse the seeds into the paste. Now put your seed paste into a cake icing bag and simply squeeze a line of seeded paste along your row. (You can practice squeezing the seed paste onto a kitchen cutting board, adjusting the seed-to-paste ratio until you get the idea consistency and seed distribution. When you're happy, just squeeze the mix along your tow to get even distribution/spacing of your seeds.
The flour-and-water paste doesn't just distribute the seeds evenly, it provides initial water and will leech away next time you water. Now, I hear you thinking, "won't that paste solidify under the warmth of the sun?" No, it won't, because you're NOT going to leave the seed paste exposed. Instead, you're going to use those wooden boards to cover the seeds before you water them in. Those boards will hold the seeds in place, as well as trapping moisture and preventing birds pecking them out! Simply water over the top of the boards for the next two weeks. Then, roll the boards back to their original position, at which point the seedlings will have established roots and started growing (sunlight-starved) shoots. You can now continue as per the original video instructions.
Note: Do NOT use wallpaper paste, as it contains pesticides to stop anything growing.
Have fun and happy growing - Rick
THANK YOU RICK! im going to try that tomorrow!
@@RogersRigs Just be sure to water in after replacing the planks. This will dissolve the flour paste (turning it into natural food without moving the seeds). It really does work.
I bet those silicone tipped nail tools that u uae to pick up tiny little pieces of glitter & decals with would work Amazeballs with small seeds. Succulent seeds...carrots...celery...lettuce...INSANITY. Some succulent seeds r microscopic like the head of a pin Ity bity. The nail tools could double for making the lines for ur rows & u could also use them as a poker. They r cheap AF & some of them actually have clear hollow handles or the tool itself is able to be filled with small objects like tiny gems etc....so seeds would b cool n there too. Yeah I DEF think I am gonna try some now that I saw u use this pick up method. Amazon...u can get packs of 2+ for little of nothing. Thanx for the info...& maybe u will see this & try the tool too. Happy Planting...Tending...& Harvest 2022
GREAT IDEA! im gonna buy one and try that, the wood somtimes holds on to the seed too long. that nail tool might be perfect. THANK YOU
@@RogersRigs absolutely...the wood trick reminded me of using that tool for crafts n stuff....& I actually just planted seeds yest & carrots seeds r a pain so ur vid sparked the idea. Those carrots u grew r huge. Crazy awesome
thanks. im ordering the tool
@@RogersRigs let me know how it works for u. I hope u enjoy it & it helps with all ur small seed needs lol. Thanx for all the great vids for info. I love UA-cam for this fact....I can always learn something new everyday.
