Second, I also deeply dug the soil beneath the raised beds before I built them. Third, a thick layer of compost and root-nurturing organic fertilizers helped. I didn't want to add too much nitrogen for fear of only growing lush green tops. I'm glad to hear your carrots are working out in a container. I think the depth of your container is probably helping your carrots grow healthy roots. <br /><br />I'm glad to see your harvests are still plentiful this late into November. Your herbs look great!.09 Acreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469496252952784993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3303089369353741704.post-51090056606685344262010-11-23T21:48:06.784-05:002010-11-23T21:48:06.784-05:00Your carrots are GREAT!

They never grew over 2 inches tall. This year, I resorted to growing them in a container and it seems to be working. You should be very proud of your carrot crop. I know more than a handful of people that tried to grow carrots without success. Good job! Can't wait to see the rest!Veggie PAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250455377130668508noreply@blogger.com
