    I tried growing carrots last year, and a family of rabbits did everything but drop me a thank you note for buying them dinners

      Try growing them in containers. Works wonders. Put the containers where they can't reach it.

      Same here. I'm just now understanding that the carrots tops get tall. Finally gotta fence

      I plant in containers and my problem is rats. I found that if I cover the pots with tulle at night my plants are safe. Some pots I can use wire trash baskets upside down and they fit the pots perfectly. If I forget to cover the plants, the tops of my potatoes, parsley and carrots are eaten down to the ground by morning. Because of my pets rat traps and poisons are out of the question.

      I just noted in a response to my comment on their carrot fries recipe about a month ago, Hollis said he was planning to release a video on container grown carrots in October. I ordered the Bolero seeds for my fall garden, can’t wait to see the video…

    Hi Hollis and Nancy, Thanks so much for everything I have learned through the years. I saw something interesting from a Canadian carrot 🥕 grower last week. I don't remember her channel. Anyway, she made a thick pudding from just cornstarch and water. When it was cool, she stirred in her carrot 🥕 seeds. Then she put it into a ziplock gallon bag. She cut a tiny hole on one corner. Then she made a fine line of carrot seed cornstarch pudding in her row. Covered it and watered. All it cost her was seed, cornstarch and a gallon bag. I thought it was genius and felt shame that I couldn't have thought about it 40 yrs ago. 👋🤣

    You know, I was wondering if those devices worked as advertised. I'm glad to here you tested one out, and liked it enough to buy one for yourself. A seed sowing device that actually takes only a couple of minutes to plant 1,000 carrots, and no bending?! Worth it!!! Thanks for showing us how to use it. Pelleted seeds. Ok then. Oh, and you pull, not push. "Develop into the carrots that God meant them to be." Hilariously said! The carrots look so good. I'm certain that the carrots at the store don't taste anywhere near as good as yours. I can't grow year round - NJ is too cold for that. But I look forward to planting my own following your tips. This is another great video. Thank you!

      You can do it. We live in Maine. We plant one bed in the Spring, and a 2nd bed
      after we pull our garlic in Early July. The first bed gets used for fresh bed all
      summer and early fall. The 2nd bed is left until end of October to be put into
      fresh storage. A frost or 2 doesn't hurt then one bit. Promise, it works. 😊

      We grow these same carrots. The reason? Old eyes. So much easier to space
      when planting by hand. Sprinkling regular carrot seed, thinning once they
      sprout is time consuming and wasteful. Pelleted seed is the way to go.

    Hi Nancy and Hollis. I am a fan and I Thanks you so much for sharing your planting techniques and for showing us how to garden. I apply all your techniques to my gardening especially now that I moved my garden in a different area in my house that gets year round sun.
    I am From Jacksonville Fl and I would very much appreciate if you can share with me when you plant your vegetables so I can plant them at the right time. Thats one that I struggle with. I want to follow your calendar since we have the same zone where I am. Like now I watch this episode when you planted carrots, and here I am planning to plant carrots around this time of the season (March) and I think I am wrong. I really appreciate you helping me with the calendar of veggies to plant. Thank you so much in advance. I look forward to your response.

    This will be our 3rd year growing Bolero carrots. We won't grow anything else.
    When buying seed from Johnny's look closely at the volume prices.
    1 packet, 250 seeds, $5.80. This is for pelleted seed.
    1000 seeds, $6.55. Spend the extra .75 cents. Split an order with a/some friends.
    That's 500 seeds each for $3.28.
    Also, with pelleted seed you can easily replant individual spaces if a few don't
    germinate. Best carrots we've ever grown.
    The most important tip was "Keep the Seeds Moist". Once planted and germination
    starts, if they dry out your growth rate diminishes greatly, or at very least slows
    germination down. Do not let the soil surface dry out. Good Luck All 😊
    TYFS, Great tips.

    Love the perimerter. You two are such hard workers. I didn't know I was unsubscribed. I was wondering why I haven't seen your videos come up. Love your gardens and channel. Those carrots, wow!
