I'm also in N.H. didn't know I could leave the beets in the ground this long. Good to know. As far as carrots, I can't grow carrots. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but just doesn't happen for me
It was an experiment for me this year, and was really happy how it worked out. I've been doing it with carrots for years. Are you having poor germination with carrots? The seeds can definitely dry out super fast and not grow. you almost need to water twice a day to make sure they take. I've never tried, but some people use vermiculite to cover the seeds, rather than soil. it holds water pretty well.
A good harvest after two weeks of frost, Dave. We'll have to try doing this next year.
They get SO sweet!!! And take up no space in the pantry
awesome , hope you are staying warm

@@OakKnobFarm I'll try and water twice a day and see if that helps. Not sure if it's the soil or not
