Carrots

I planted our third planting of carrots today. Marked them with over seeding of radishes. I'm trying out a new variety from Amsterdam, along with our standard candy carrots. Planted about 500 feet of row in a double row.

 Should be ready in about 60 days. About the end of the July.

We lay down a strip of compost. No fertilizer.

The compost keeps the weeds out of the row and makes is easy for the carrots to emerge after germination. Takes about three weeks for the carrots to come up.
