Who doesn’t love a baby carrot? Sweet, small, quick and easy to grow, baby carrots are a good choice for smaller plots and pots.
Carrots are a favourite of bunnies and health nuts everywhere. Rich in antioxidants like Beta Carotene, Alpha Carotene, Phytochemicals and Glutathione, Calcium and Potassium, as well as vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and E, carrots are indeed a tasty little super-food.
As carrots are a root vegetable, it’s going to be necessary to get your hands dirty. Rocks, stones and really heavy soil will slow down growth and deform your carrots. Manually pick through your bed before planting, remove obstacles and treat really heavy soils with a mixture of sand and compost.
Carrots need good drainage . Carrots taste best when they are grown really quickly and good soil preparation is paramount here.
Carrots respond well to a feed, just as long as it is not high in nitrogen. High nitrogen fertilisers will make big, bushy carrot tops but do nothing for the all-important root zones! Give them a liquid feed of fertiliser tea every few weeks just to speed up the process, but don’t overdo it, especially in rich soil.
