Thanks for your help

I have to admit, I hate thinning carrots 🥕

Glad it was helpful!

Good question and I will be adding this to my profile. New Jersey zone 7a. Temperatures between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Absolutely, it is good organic matter.

Actually yes, I have my carrots in the garden and I plant them as I show in the video. But my dogs love carrots so much. So I randomly plant them around my house. I even have them coming up in my front yard between my flowers. This way whenever I’m outside with the dogs, I can just reach over and grab a treat for them. I also throw a few seeds in random spots if I have an open area in my garden. 🥕😃🌱

@ thanks for the reply. I do a 2x2’ scattering. What grows grows. I’m not one for thinning.

Carrots 🥕 are great to grow once you get them sprouted 😃

You’re welcome, may God bless you with a bountiful harvest. 😃

I’ve seen this done with potatoes, not sure how well it would work with carrots 🥕,but that’s why we experiment. 😀🌱 Happy Gardening!

Sounds good, the key is to create that moisture barrier whether you use wood, or cardboard. 🥕🌱🥕 Happy gardening 😀

Thank you for the feedback we are zone 7a. 🥕.

Every now and then ya just need a snack. God bless you in all you do.

He put them to bed. The bed of his belly 😄😄😄

I hear ya. We do both here, in fact one of the best things I use is my own compost pile and also my leaf mold pile both are great resources. I am also a grandparent who will be downsizing our house and upsizing our land soon for retirement. I will be looking to be off grid as much as we can. I worry about the world our grandkids will see once we are gone. We need to teach them all we know. 😉

Yes, but if you’re making it for outdoors you could also use peat moss. 😀

@@BackyardFoodGarden Ahhh yes,,,, that was what I was wondering, & looking for. HOW MUCH peat moss, for proper PH? Then, what else is needed? I will watch your "making compost" video. FYI,, always state your zone, month, or where you live at the beginning of your video. No sense for us to try for a late season crop like yours, if we are up farther than zone 5,, right? My old neighbors & I are going to raised bed gardens, to eliminate a lot of the work,,, but we sure are having one hec of a problem, finding enough beneficial materials to fill up the large containers like yours. Maybe you can help us with that?

​​⁠ Hi, I am in zone 7a and my carrot box has a pH of 6.5. Regarding filling your boxes, I used a method called. Hügelkultur. This is where you fill your beds with logs, sticks, food, scraps grass clippings and then cover over with compost or soil. We grow in 100% compost. My beds are 17 inches high so filling my containers with all of this material first saved me a lot of money in buying compost. I covered the logs with about 8 inches of compost. I hope this helps and I’m always here for your questions. May God bless you happy gardening. 😊

Thank you so much. 😃

@@BackyardFoodGarden Thank you

I have soaked them for a minimum of two hours and a maximum overnight and I’ve seen no difference. However, if you soak them overnight, the paper gets soggy so I prefer only soaking them about two hours.

Good idea. I just bought a new dehydrator, think I’ll plant some more. Thanks for the reminder. 😃🧄🌱

Thanks for sharing!

It was one of those things I found in my garage I didn’t know I had so I repurposed it. 😃

Love me some pink Brandywine tomatoes 🍅

I’ve never grown in pure sand, but it lacks nutrients.

I feel your pain, I lost some of mine to rabbits. 😊

Glad it was helpful!

I’ve done that before and it works well. 🥕

Thank you! Cheers!

Libby that’s good feedback. Moving forward I will take your advice. 🌱

Great question everyone’s seeds will germinate at a different time. Keep checking under the cardboard for sprouts. 🌱 even with the cardboard check to make sure they are moist. You may have to give them a light mist. Once you start getting sprouts remove the cardboard and keep them moist but not drenched. The sprouts are very delicate and can die easily. I wait until the sprouts are about 4” before I mulch with crushed up leaf mulch or straw. Sometimes mulch can weigh down young seedlings. I hope this helps. 😉

Great questions. It seems like it was only a half of a video and your questions were part of the unmade second half.

You are so welcome! 🥕🥕🥕 Now it’s time to plant our Garlic 🧄 😀

Sounds like you’re doing good. 😊 Keeping them moist is the key.

What problems do you have and what is your soil like?

Thank you so much! 🥕🥕🥕

You’re welcome. God bless you.

We are zone 7a

Hi thanks for commenting. The perlite is mostly used for drainage and aeration while vermiculite helps soil retain water. Vermiculite can hold 3 to 4 times its weight in water. 💦 The coco coir or peat moss is the base material. I also use worm castings in our seed starting mix which also helps with moisture retention, microbes, nutrients, etc. Hope you have lots of success with this years garden, may God bless all you do. 😀

I think you are half right. As @BackYardFoodGarden states vermiculite retains water and perlite helps aeration, but coir/peat moss hold moisture too.

Absolutely, for leafy greens like spinach, kale you want Nitrogen for this I use a fish emulsion. I use Alaska brand because it’s available in my area. You will see 3 numbers on the fertilizer 5-1-1 the first number is nitrogen. The second number is phosphorus and the third number is potassium the higher the number the more of that nutrient basically nitrogen is to grow leafy greens phosphorus is for when you want your plants to put out fruit and vegetables it helps the flowers and potassium is to build strong roots and stems. for carrots I don’t fertilize at all, except there is worm castings in my seed starting mix. If you have normal soil or average soil, I don’t fertilize carrots. The reason is it’s easy to over fertilize carrots and when you do, you get these hairy roots on the carrot and also deformations like two carrots in one that are deformed looking. just using a little compost in my soil is all I need, I hope this helps if you need anything else. Please feel free to reach out. I really do try to answer all the questions that my viewers ask God bless you.

Thanks and welcome 🥕

@@BackyardFoodGarden you're welcome 😁 Happy to be here 🙏🎉

I’m so glad you liked it. Carrot seedlings can be very delicate. Gentle lift up the cardboard and check to make sure they’re still moist every so often. Once you start getting little sprouts 🌱 remove the cardboard. These little sprouts are very delicate if they dry out at all, they would die. Also, if you wet them too much, they fall over and get stuck in the mud and die. You’re gonna do just great!. 🥕

My cages are 21 inches wide 36 inches long and 12 inches high however you will want to make these the correct size for your growing area so if you’re raised boxes or a different size you can adjust accordingly.

There are lots of varieties I grow this one because it is very cold hardy down to -10 degrees. I can grow it all winter in my area.

These are the sweetest carrots 🥕 I ever tried. I hope you like them 😃

I always use fresh herbs when possible. I dry so I have herbs when they are out of season 😀
