Planting Carrots - Carrots Love Tomatoes

 

Carrots seem to just be the vegetable that looks healthy and tastes good.   We all want to plant our own carrots and have crisp carrots to snack on.  I have just a few tips on planting your carrots that I use; you can try them if you like.

         Carrots like soil with lime, humus and potash in it.  When carrots have long periods of hot weather and too much nitrogen they seem to have poor flavor.

 If you plant onions, leeks and herbs like rosemary, sage and wormwood by them they seem to be a repellent to the carrot fly.

 Carrots tomatoes and leaf lettuce grow well together, but carrots don’t like dill, the feeling is probably mutual.

 The roots of carrots are beneficial to growing peas.

 When storing carrots and apples they should be stored a distance from each other to prevent carrots from taking on a bitter flavor.

 Good Luck!
