Anyone grow carrots? (1 Viewer)

Thinking of ordering a variety of seeds, but not certain which organization or type to get. Anyone have suggestions?

I grow a variety called Amarillo. It’s yellow instead of orange but I love them.

Cool, heard good things about them, do you fertilize, and if so what ratios (NPKZeetes)?

 

[LonghornSaint]

weird, not how I expected that to show up

I suspect there might be extra zeetes in that fertilizer, more zeetes than necessary

I use lots of compost and work it into the soil, keeping it loose. And I mulch the top with whatever I have around but not too thick. I don’t really use fertilizer, but I do use a little Superthrive on all my plants.

I have a lot of luck with carrots in the fall
I live in Mid-City and have grown all varieties in the fall
I use compost, cow manure and top soil
Good luck!

zeetes is my favorite vegetable. My grandparents grew a lot of them when I was a kid. Wish I knew more about it for input (other than inputting zeetes)

I did once a couple of years ago in my raised bed and they never got bigger than pencils. A few years before, we did them in the ground in mushroom compost and they grew like mad. I bought a rainbow assortment and had purple, red, orange and yellow.

Seems they're very nutrient hungry.

If you are patient enough, China might send you some seeds to try.
