    Isn't it better to leave in the ground for 2 weeks after the first frost date so the starches can turn into sugars and taste better?

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  Місяць тому +1

      You can leave some varieties to store longer, for sure.....I haven't found anything sweeter than the young carrots.....even the extra sugars because of the cold can't touch young baby carrots.

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  Місяць тому

      Yeah, people like to thin them, but they can grow right next to each other no problem. 2" (5cm) apart seems to be ideal.

  • @shirleyk623
    @shirleyk623 Місяць тому +1

    What does it mean when your carrots get extra little white roots on them? That's what the last of my carrots are doing now. I've been pulling them as needed for a meal and have some left. Should I pull the rest out? Thanks for sharing your tips.

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  Місяць тому +1

      It normally means the soil is too rich in Nitrogen (N). No big deal as they rub off pretty easily. I say keep growing, but cut back on the nutrients.

      @@TheRipeTomatoFarms that's what I have been thinking about my whole garden, a lot of green growth and very little fruits. I did a home soil test, it didn't show a high nitrogen level. I'm thinking those tests are unreliable. It might be time for a real soil test from my agriculture center. Thanks for your opinion.

    My carrots are grown from saved seeds, from the flowers that came from regrown carrot scraps, so I can't go by the seed packet. I typically end up having to guess, and the carrots tend to come out white instead of orange.

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  Місяць тому +1

      Not having the seed packet isn't so bad as its the LEAST accurate way to tell if a carrot is ready. 🙂

    No such info on British seed packets. Just a coloured bar of months when to sow and harvest. I got Nantes growing and Chantenays and some middle length variety I can't remember the name of offhand. Had to resow this year several times with the abysmal spring we had and totally lost track of when I sowed what in each variety bucket. But I am sure some of the Nantes should be ready soon. Though no sign of shoulders yet.

    Unless you plan to process a load of carrots, just pick as needed. They dont stay fresh for long.

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms

      Pick as needed is brilliant...so is thinning as needed! 🙂
