Carrots!
I just harvested mine ... and wonder why a few of them have those lengthwise
splits . Is that caused by variations in watering ? These have been pretty much left on their own since I began spending a lot of time at our Ozark Hideaway . -- Snag Learning keeps you young ! |

Carrots like soft sandy soil with some organic matter but not very fertile. If practicing crop rotation sow carrots last after heavy feeding crops are done before refurbishing or fertilising. D |

D Thanks ! These were grown in a patch that I turned from grass to garden spring-before-last , and both years I tilled a 2" layer of nice rich black compost into the soil . Had great top growth , and pretty decent carrots . These were a "short n sweet" variety , and they are indeed short . Fat too ! -- Snag Learning keeps you young ! |
