Here in zone 3 we can’t start carrots until sometime in May but this does get me excited to garden again once the snow and frost is gone...

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

I love carrots 🍃🌺🍃

[@jackm4714]

Right on time! Just getting ready to sow! 😊

[@BBKERNSALLNhomestead]

Thanks Jill. I'm going to try your tricks. So far I haven't had any luck with carrots. I think this time I need to water more. Here's to getting a good crop of carrots .

[@TreasureFiend]

Thank you so much, I was looking for carrot info! YAY

[@lynettetucker544]

Thanks for the tips Jill.🌱💚✨

[@wild.n.free_alaska]

That is such a great idea!

[@carolpettengill7690]

Thanks, I'm excited about growing carrots this year, I'll be using my seeds I harvest last yr

[@albertnett7864]

Great video.

[@yukonsmomma3562]

Thanks Jill.

[@Sweettomatovine]

Very informative video

[@heatherdonohue9572]

Here for ALL THE CARROT TIPS! 🥕

[@livefreefarmstead]

We just cover the carrots after we seed and water. We then look daily to make sure its still damp and for germination. Water when needed and remove cover once you have germination.

[@gardenstatesowandsew]

Thank you ❤

[@jamesjessee4064]

Nice info 👍❤️🙋‍♂️

[@teresaedwards3659]

I planted outside early last spring. It rains here alot in the N.W. It was a small crop so I used the board method, I learned from Jess Sowards and I heavy seeded. I had a successful crop.

[@calabogierusticfarmmarket387]

Thanks for the tips Jill. I have always pulled them out when thinning out. Will the root not grow a new set of greens when cut off or does it just die back in the ground?

[@YACABE]

The board or covering with cardboard method didn't work for me because i would forget to remove it. Then when I did, things were leggy, yellow, and dying. 😅😅

[@angelaschettino1327]

Question if they are root vegetables will the root underground keep growing after cutting the tops? Will the tops grow again?

[@mattandbarbhartt2860]

Love the pruning instead of pulling! Did you use pelleted seed? I’m trying pelleted for the first time this year.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

I did not.

[@tanyafosdick4139]

Always curious, do you plant by the moon? I try when I can but with a town job and a cow/calf plus row crop operation, I plant as time allows 🙃

[@stephaniesanchez676]

Hi Jill! Do you have any tips on how to combat pill bugs eating the carrot seedlings as soon as they sprout??

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Wow I've never dealt with that pest before in my carrots. I know if you put several watermelon rhines in your beds, the pill bugs will immediately be attracted to it. Hope this helps

[@samanthahoos9827]

Do you get carrot root flies?

[@thehumblehomestead734]

I’m sorry if I missed it, but do you have a recommendation for carrots that can well? I don’t have a space for long term cool/dry storage 😢 so I’m hoping to can some. I tried some from the farmers market last year and they were very mushy…he also didn’t know what they were 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@christineosborne3155]

Last year's carrots did great but this year none sprouted

[@Bethanymwilliamson]

Would this work with beets and turnips and radishes?

[@authentichomestead]

Hi Jill. Will your tips work for all root vegetables like beets and radishes? And what company did you get your high tunnel from? I'm doing the NRCS program and in the market for one.

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

Yes these tricks will benefit most all root veggies

[@angelaraum1545]

What about container watering? I dont have access to set up drip as i have NO water source outside.

[@dirtroaddestiny]

None of my carrot starts sprouted 😂 trial number two is coming soon since you said variety matters. I’ll get better seeds. ❤

[@naynerboppers5254]

It could also be taking longer due to sun exposure and temp

[@dirtroaddestiny]

@@naynerboppers5254 thank you ❤️

[@naynerboppers5254]

@@dirtroaddestiny np! Only reason I know is cuz I dealt with it recently. I just waited and have it time and now they are springing up on warmer days

[@blueneonmoon9688]

How do you know when they are ready

[@WhisperingWillowFarm]

They will pop out of the soil at the base and you'll be able to see how wide they are

[@jcataz]

I garden in a community garden and drip irrigation is prohibited. No matter how I water, I have never had a decent carrot harvest.

[@aubreygarcia7378]

I keep cardboard over the dirt until they germinate to keep dirt moist

Here in Brazil, in the states that doesnt rain too much, they put a galon bottle with two string that go from the bottom of the bottle to the ground. They last for 2 days and keep it dump. Important.: the bottle is laid down no the side, not standing
