    Great idea! It’s funny how harvesting carrots is similar to potatoes in the excitement of not knowing how they’ll turn out. I’m sitting here in stiflingly hot Virginia marveling at the fact you’re wearing long sleeves!

    So pleased you filmed the chantoney harvest!! I am planning on sowing the same variety this weekend. A 5ltr pot is amazing for that harvest! 🥕🥕👏👏

    We have grown carrots in an old suitcase in our allotment. We filled it with sand, compost and protect it with enviromesh against carrot root fly and the early results are good. We are eating thinnings at the moment. But they are growing much better than in our heavy soil. Love the root trainer idea and will have a go at that for late carrots.

    Great carrot harvest Erica. I'm growing Amsterdam Forcing too, also early Nantes and the small round one Atlas. I've had a good harvest so far. I know how you feel about bees, I have a bumble bee nest in my compost bin. Not keen at all. I have to garden with one eye on it as I really dont like them ever since I was a child and a swarm came down. I'll be glad when they go lol. Stay on the flowers, dont come near me!

    The root trainers are a great idea. Why didn't I think of this??? Definitely think there's a market for root trainers specific to carrots. Maybe a few inches higher than the ones used here. I'm also now thinking of a cheap way to make a low budget DIY grid just for carrots. I've grown in containers before but had trouble with carrot root fly.

    I find carrots from the shop just don’t taste as good as one you grow yourself. I’ve done more in some pots for over the winter. Wow not a bad harvest Erica well except for the last 3 🤭🤭. The good thing about those root trainers is you can harvest as needed if you only need a few at a time. Perfect looking carrots 🥕. Have a fab week Erica, Ali 🌞🥵🥵🇨🇦

    Another great video! I've been disapointed with my carrots but now I have some tips to try to improve the harvert. I have a batch that just germinated. I'm trying them in sifted compost this time in 8 gallon cloth pots. I may need to invest in some root trainers. Thank you! Neil in Oregon

    Hi Erica. Could you possibly let me know the size of the root trainers please, e.g. the depth? I thought they look particularly big, much bigger than what I find on Amazon, but it may be just how it looks on video. Your carrot harvest is very impressive. 🥕 Thank you for the video.

  • @pheart2381

    I am in Wales as well. I decided to give gardening a try for the first ever time at the beginning of June. I sowed Beetroot seeds in a container on June 9th and they look almost ready to harvest. I can't remember the dates that I sowed the other seeds, but they are Chantenay Red core carrots in a long container and they are growing nicely. I then built a raised bed and sowed loads of Autumn King carrots, more beetroots, Savoy cabbages and little gem lettuces. I had to pull some out because it looked like almost every seed germinated. I bought tunnel hoops and covered the bed with mesh and polythene. Also, a couple of days ago I sowed silverskin onion seeds in a long container as well, so I am waiting for them to germinate.

    Hi Erica, Great carrot harvest. Like yourself, I grew mine in the greenhouse in pots to avoid the dreaded carrot fly, and it turned out a mega failure. I think perhaps they were gatting frazzled with the sun.

    Thanks Erica, great harvest. After a bad start to carrot growing last year due to amateur mistakes and forgetting to sucession sow, I'm learning lots and hoping this year for better results. I am currently growing Autumn King and Nantes so hoping for a decent crop. 🙏

    Hiya, Erica! ❤ You are such a good speaker, your videos are always informative and easy to follow. One of these days I need to go through your original first videos to see your beginner progression, as I’m new to filming vids and feel I’m still awkward on camera. 😂 Hopefully one day I’ll be more comfortable and speak as well as you. 😅
    That said, I’ve yet to grow a decent carrot. The last pot I was proud of went to seed. I will attempt to sow some more. 😂 Yours in the first pot are so cute! 🥰🌱❤️ Growing them in root trainers?! Brilliant! I’m going to try this!!!

    Great Carrot harvest Erica, this is my first yr growing anything I'm growing Nantes, and they are more or less ready to harvest, I'm not expecting great results as I know I sewed far too many in my container, but if I get half dozen good ones that'll do me.. I didn't think I could start with another lot now so will deff get some more seeds in.. I'm loving the idea of the root trainers. Will sew mine in containers but after watching a few vids from gardners with great Carrot harvest, I'm going to seive my compost first, apparently this allows for the Carrot yo grow nice & straight with no odd shaped ones.. we will see lol.. x
