This method was suggested to us by experienced summer residents who are well oriented in all the subtleties of spring sowing. If you want to know the reason for such an unexpected vegetable duo, read our article.

First of all, we must say that the seeds of carrots are quite tightly germinating until they penetrate from the ground, the weeds will already occupy the entire surface of the soil and will not allow your vegetable to develop normally. Something needs to be done about it.

? Who can boast of such lush green carrots in June? My dad! @querkus50 verbatim his recipe for growing carrots! ?? I will tell you right away that I did not come up with anything new about sowing carrots, but applied my theoretical knowledge in practice. The garden was prepared in autumn in October, digging the ground on a full bayonet shovel: .27-30 cm ? When digging added humus and river sand (we have loamy soil). You can successfully replace the forest floor. In the spring, in the first days of May, I drill the ground with frequent rakes and form 2 longitudinal grooves 5-8 cm wide and 2.5-3.0 cm deep. The distance between the grooves (strings) is 30 cm. I pour plenty of water on the bed and carefully sow carrot seeds on wet ground. Seeds sprinkled with river sand layer 0.5-0.8 cm. I cover the bed with a black plastic film and fix it. I'm removing the tape in 12 days. Weed sprouts become unviable under black film and die, and carrots germinate together. Until the first real leaves appear, we water moderately. After the appearance of real leaves, we stop watering. We don't get watered in June! This is important for the formation of the correct form of root vegetables. What features of growing carrots do you know? Share it! Clarification! Dad lives in Siberia! June was hot and windy. It started raining two days ago.

Weeding will not bring the desired result due to the fact that, in addition to unnecessary plants, you can also damage carrot shoots. And then our radish trick comes into play: when sowing carrot seeds in each row after 10-20 cm, throw 1-2 radish seeds. He'll give you the cuts you need.

The method is good for early sowing of carrots, somewhere until the end of April. If you plan on doing this later, use a salad instead of a radish.

Another prerequisite is abundant watering. Carrots, radishes and the same salad - they all love moist soil. Therefore, skipping watering is strictly not recommended. Together with the free placement of seeds, generous watering will bring you good growth, a rich harvest and an excellent taste of root vegetables and lettuce leaves.

By the way, some gardeners like to plant carrots and radishes in egg trays. You need to fill the tray with earth up to half and plant 3 seeds in each. This method has both pros and cons.

Is this my little tomato nursery?? I tried it last year. I saw someone in ISIS. (Denice's, I think) Very convenient. The space does not take up much and does not get wet. When a couple of real leaves appear, I will pass into cups 0.5 liters before landing in the ground. Much more comfortable than snails. I also tried them in the first season. #egg tray do this: I cut all the extra and divide it in half like in the second photo. Then I fold one halves on top of the film, the ground and ready. Can I plant, water and rejoice in the shoots ??? #surface season #city Svetlana2019 #homochkinytomatics

It's convenient, you don't have to bend your back. Seeds are saved, and seedlings do not need to be thinned again and again. Plants develop well and give excellent results. Cardboard keeps weeds from growing.

On the other hand, this landing takes longer. The cardboard should give the roots to germinate, which means that there should be enough water for it to soften. Therefore, watering takes much more water, which is uncomfortable if your country does not have running water.

My Sea????????????????????????????????? Oh, I just thought I wouldn't grow up again, planted that I would collect 10 kilograms and collect 150?? I really hope her husband puts her somewhere. I had a complicated relationship with carrots in general for three years, did not grow and everything here? ️ Well, this is not thicker than a little finger was... the first year I did not know that it should be thinned, the second year I thinned once, it turned out to be not enough. The third year I planted it in the same place ... and of course there was no harvest. This year, I planted part on the tape, glued myself on toilet paper with potato starch and changed the place of planting. Before that, there was sown siderate - clover. While planting almost cried? well, I think so much work and time now I will spend, a place on the beds to borrow, and there will be no use again? I did. I see, and I have such bald spots...? not all the seeds rose, or rather not all the varieties rose well. And I freaked out and sowed everything I could)) without any ribbons, then thinned everything once, because the germination was not good. He hesitated to water it later! Watered a lot and often while she was small and it was hot. 400 liters 10 liters of watering every 2 days? did not feed anything. I didn’t get much water, it often rains! Every time it rains, everyone gets upset, and I just have one thought to water the carrots. I’m glad we finally made friends with her? now we have love. P.S. I will not put on the tape again, it is long muddy and it is not clear how it will rise. Names of varieties? #carrot #town #carrots #seeds
