I like to roast parsnip. If you do get hollow/corky cores and short roots, you can kinda take the outside shells off and cube it up. Really sweet sometimes when roasted, and like you said the smell is nice!
That sounds delicious! Roasted parsnips are such a great side dish.
Thank you! Say hello to Devon! I love your channel!
Thank you! Will do!
Katy, I’ve been growing root crops hydroponically in a very similar manner. I use a 70/30 coco perlite mixture in fabric grow bags - Zone 8a and I need the evaporation to keep the roots cool.
I’ve had success with carrots, radishes, beets, potatoes and sweet potatoes. I like what you tried.
That's awesome to hear! It sounds like you've had great success with your hydroponic root crops. Keep up the good work!
This may not help you, but it might help someone that grows in raised beds. I grow carrots in soil in raised beds in the spring and late summer. The soil in my raised beds is about three inches from the top of the bed. The way I get my carrots to germinate is to spread the seeds on top of the soil and lightly cover them with sifted soil. Then I water well and cove the raised bed with plastic and white cover cloth. This makes it like a small greenhouse and keeps the soil moisture. Once I see the carrots have sprouted, I remove the cover cloth and plastic.
I appreciate you sharing your method for growing carrots in raised beds. It's always great to learn new tips from fellow gardeners.
You never do anything wrong. You just encounter situations that may require alternative approaches. A bit of background about the crops you showed. My mother grew all three in a sandy soil that had a bit of clay, in Northern NY. All 3 did well. In Southern Quebec are large carrot farms. They all grow in a black muck with exceptional results. Your approach may be that you simply take some of your native soil, sterilize it, and give that a try. Your beets were awesome. They reminded me of the beet greens my mother would prepare.
Thank you for sharing what you do.
Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and the kind words about my beet harvest. It means a lot to hear that my videos remind you of your mother's cooking. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Soil tension. Hmm. An interesting concept that I never thought about before.
Yes a post a couple of videos talked about it and how important it is for root crops. I never knew
I've been doing alot of research on carrots lately because I wanted to try and pre germinate my carrots in cells before putting them in the garden. My thoughts were that u wouldn't have to thin as much and u could get perfect spacing. Apparently this is a big no no. And I think it would b even worse in the grow cubes u used.
Apparently, the taproot, which actually forms the carrot, needs to grow straight down. And it does this super fast right at the beginning to get things moving. It then continues to do this throughout the season, until it hits its full length. By starting in a cell or grow cube, u cause that taproot to stop growing down and curve, or even stop. Other roots will form, as u can see with yours, but u will get next to no length. Carrots grow so well in loose compost that I don't think surface tension is an issue. Your Peet packs together more than well enough.
I think, if u direct seeded into barrels, and get them to germinate, u would get beautiful carrots.
Same theory works with the parsnips as well. Basicly grow the exact same.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge about carrots and how to best grow them. It's great to learn from fellow gardening enthusiasts like yourself.
@HomegrownPassion this is just basic knowledge I have found over the internet. I've never tested it to see if it's 100% true so take it with a grain of salt. But seeing what happen to yours, and how u prepared yours, makes it seem like there is some fact to it.
Pretty soon you'll have the whole aquaponics setup with fish n stuff. Check out growing with fishes they're super helpful
Nope not doing Aquaponics. Can't scale it large enough to produce with consistency the amount of produce we are growing. But it is very cool.
Great looking harvest 🇳🇿❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Great Video as always!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll keep the good stuff coming.
Very fun to see the results!
Thank you for watching and appreciating the results!
Wunnerful.
Consider a hybrid planting route by starting seeds in the cups, transferring to the NFT troughs to move from babies to early juveniles, and THEN transplant to a "Wicking Bucket," stripping away some of the cups after the roots are well established and long to finish the crop. I am thinking wicking buckets will encourage deep root growth and perhaps more robust root-fruit development. BTW, most of my ideas are not good ideas..
Thanks for the comment! Keep those ideas coming, even the not-so-good ones!
I think I remember you planted some later carrots in peat pellets. When I’ve used them in the past, they minimized root growth for my lettuce and produced smaller plants. I’m very interested in how root plants fair. Please please please keep us up to date on the deep barrels. The beets were a win! I know now I can give them about honest shot in my small operation. I might be able to add a deep barrel next year. To see your results before I blindly start yet another system, is truly a blessing. Thank you for sharing!
Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely keep you posted on how the root plants are doing in the deep barrels. It's awesome to have your support, and I'm glad you found the beets successful. Cheers to future gardening adventures!
In the past, I have only tried growing carrots once and I had the same results. I have never tried the other two because I don't eat them. I just keep looking over your shoulder to your tomatoes. I'm just amazed by the numbers that you have on your plants. I keep learning.
Hey there! Glad you're enjoying the tomato numbers. Maybe it's time to switch things up and dive into the world of tomatoes!
Я пишу вам из России. Морковь вышла так из за пересадки, у нее корень формируется сразу в глубь а из за пересадки корень складывается и она перестает расти в глубину. Бывает эффект что место одного кончика у моркови их 2-3 (рогатая) Пробуйте сменить ее сразу на постоянное место или кассеты глубокие по типа стакана Р9 который 9х9 а глубину 10см тогда минимум клубень будет те же 10см
I am writing to you from Russia. The carrot came out like this because of the transplant, its root is formed immediately into the depth and because of the transplant, the root folds and it stops growing into the depth. It happens that the place of one tip of the carrot has 2-3 of them (horned), Try to change it immediately to a permanent place or cassettes are deep like a glass P9 which is 9x9 and a depth of 10cm, then the minimum tuber will be the same 10cm
Досмотрел до конца, да прямой посев нужен для моркови
I watched it to the end, but carrots need direct sowing
Ok thats the plan for the future. Thank you
So nice dressing you so nice glasses you're very beautiful air strong
Well, I do try to look my best for my viewers and my glasses are my secret weapon!
My guess would be an even drier medium and perhaps less frequent watering, it encourges the "root" to go deeper.
I think your right. I have been cutting back the watering on the deep barrel and they do seem to be doing better.
Would you need more phosphorus for those root vegetables? You got nice leafy greens.
Thank you for the advice! I'll look into adjusting the phosphorus levels for my root vegetables.
Hi you so nice you green farming you love you farming so nice
Hey, thanks for the love on the farming content! Keep enjoying the videos!
What is the NPK amounts on the tomato/cucumber formula? Lush green growth with poor root crops size is usually related to excess nitrogen for that particular crop item's needs. That would be my first thought as to why the unexpected smaller root crop sizes. Like you said possibly over crowded or the oasis cube might have restricted them when younger.
Thanks for bringing up the NPK ratio question! It's always helpful to consider all factors for optimal plant growth.
I have not tried carrots in hydroponics because they are so cheap in the markets, it is just not worth it. Agree it might be too much nitrogen putting all its energy into vegetation and not into crop. I tried some beets roots in a NFP setup and they eventually grew above the boards with roots below. The root vegetables, as you found, took months and months to grow and just was not worth it. I think Noal Farm have a yt clip on potato’s under misting aeroponics.
It's always good to weigh the cost and effort when deciding what to grow in hydroponics! I wanted to try carrot more for an experiment. Ill check out the potato video. Thank you!!
I don't see the link that shows you how you created the Barrels.
Sorry here it is. czcams.com/video/pZ3FJiY3jNc/video.html
@@HomegrownPassion Thanks for the quick response!
Just wonder is parsnips green edible?
Thanks for asking! The green parts of parsnips are safe to eat, just remember they might taste a bit different.
🤔 ruled out medium? Was the circumference bigger than noted on the carrots? Perhaps not enough pressure to force em down got fat and content not wanting to grow down 🤷♂️ just reckless speculation
Deep water cranberries 😆 make your own craisins 🤷♂️
Maybe the carrots were on a diet and didn't want to grow down! 😄
👍
