Thanks for gardening with me!
I’m in Maryland and last year I planted carrots in pots and left them all winter and believe it or not, I pulled them in the spring and they were great!👍🏻
Mmm, carrots! I grow a lot of them. Spring into summer, then fall into winter. Winter carrots are definitely the best. Colder temps cause the root to convert to starches into sugars, which makes winter carrots super sweet. 😋
Red Core Chantenay is a solid choice. 👍 I grow these every year, and they're always great. My new favorite, however, is Sugarsnax 54. OMG! They're so sweet they're literally like carrot candy, and the carrots.
Carrot pro-tip: Plant onions in between your rows of carrots. Whether you're going for an onion crop or not is irrelevant...you just want some onions to be there. Carrots & onions are perfect companion crops. Carrot flies hate onions, so if you intermingle some onion seeds your carrots won't have any of those nasty little holes drilled through them.
This will be my first time planting carrots so these tips are very valuable. That dog really steals the camera. So cute!
I also use cardboard from a frozen pizza in my buckets, remove when they sprout.
the dog looks guilty as heck...
Nice information. Nice video. I love gardening. Thanks. 🌷
Hi, CaliKim!!. Thanks for uploading this useful video!!. We appreciate your work!!.
Love your beautiful garden!!.
Awww puppy looks sad!!! Was he upset that you were filming instead of petting him? Lol. 😄🥰😘
About Mac. Mac is a very "chill" Border Collie- Aus. Shepherd mix. He makes the darndest faces...and we never force him to be on camera. But he's so chill! He's getting up there in age, 12-13 yrs. now. And I (CameraGuy) talk to him, and look him eye to eye, everyday and thank him for being so great to our family... I had better stop ...I'm tearing up--
@@CaliKim29 Awww well I will pray that he stays healthy and will be in your videos for years to come!
Thanks!
I am doing this! No more rabbits and voles eating my food!

Awesome video 👍
Thanks CaliKim!! For some reason I have not had much luck with carrots.... Definitely going to try them in my smart pots in waves. Great video :)
Hi Kindra - you can do it, containers in carrots are, in my opinion, much easier than in ground, and keeping the soil while germinating makes a world of difference. Keep me posted - thanks for stopping by!

Ty Cali. My carrots did so well from the spring planting. Looking forward to the fall planting!! The heat wave broke today here in NY. Feels good. I love the summer but I feel burned out now and want to prep for fall now😃😉🌞☺✌💞
Hi Barbara, so happy to hear your carrots did well! I bet the break in the heat feels fantastic - will be nice to have the variety with the fall veggies. Enjoy!

Love your shows. Extremely informative. I live in New York city. About when can I start my carrots . Its still in the 80s here. Thanks and God bless
Hi Frank, glad you enjoy our videos - thanks for joining us for NYC! Now is a good time to start seeds, as it will likely be cooling off soon. Covering with shade cloth as I showed in the video, will not only help keep the soil moist while they are germinating, but keep them cooler in the warm weather. Have fun!

I planted some in the Spring. I'm still learning. Do I plant some again now in 8a?
Here on the east coast. Virginia. Can you plant carrots twice in season or can you plant a few every other week for continuation.
What type of fertilizer do you use?
Can you plant carrots in october and harvest them the following year. Feb March. April etc
And is sand good for carrots.
Can you use potting soil over and over.
I have carrots, radishes and beets going. I am a little wary about them fully developing because the soil mix I'm using has larger pieces of woodchips than I would like :/ This is my first time growing my own food and I'm in a different zone in the US so fingers crossed.
Hi Lu, great job getting your root veggies growing. It will be a fun experiment to see how they do in this soil, great way to learn what works and what doesn't work for you. Enjoy the process!

I don't grow root vegetables in smart pots anymore. I think the plastic pots grow root veggies better I think it's because of the water.
Hi Pete, the great thing about gardening is that there are a 1000 ways to do it. Do what works for you, and what you prefer. I prefer Smart Pots, the aeration is fantastic, and I love being able to move them around to chase the sun or shade. Thanks for stopping by!

is it possible to grow carrots in summer, the weather is a bit temperamnetal here in melbourne australia 😂 extreme heat and cold and rainijng sometimes.
Carrots are cool weather veggies, they like temps 80 degrees/under....if you are hotter than that during summer, wait until fall! Let me know how it goes, Ren!! Be sure to subscribe if you haven't! Kim

How does the drip hose get water to it?
Magic water fairies :-) The drip hose (also called the emitter hose) that's in the pot is hooked up to a larger hose (I call the supply hose) that brings water from the faucet. Kim has a few videos on how to set it up. Just search for "drip" or "drip hose".
Hi Anne, drip irrigation is a time and water saver, I'd be lost without it here in So Cal, as we get no rain. I didn't have it hooked up yet when I filmed the video, but the hose in the pot has little drip emitters built in to it where the water comes out. I'll hook it into the water supply line with little barbed connector that ties it in to my container drip system, which is connected to my hose bib, and set on a timer. See how to set up a drip system in containers, or in your garden beds on my drip irrigation playlist, bit.ly/calikimdripirrigationplaylist. Thanks so much for stopping by!

I tried carrots in pots for 1st time last year. There were extra little, but i still had yummy carrots in all different colors. And I learned a lot!!
So i found a website that consolidates gardening research.... And you can get away with mini carrots in 2 gal pots, but you need 12" depth & good spacing. Just an fyi.
Hi Kim, so fun to try new crops, and the little baby carrots are so sweet. Thanks for the info on the 2 gal containers, keep me posted on how it goes, experimenting in the garden is the best way to learn what works for you and what you like to grow. Appreciate you stopping by!

Does the worm tea have a smell?
Hi Rory, it does have kind of a funky smell, not bad, though. The boost the plants get more than makes up for it. Thanks for watching!
