Carrot harvest 2020

[JamesY]

this is all from one 4'x8' bed thats 12 inches deep. there's a little too much nitrogen in the soil this year from the compost but still had an ok harvest

Nice harvest.

Very nice! We had an extremely slow start this year in northern Delaware. I had carrots and peas in early but they never germinated until late. Heck, the peas are just starting to get flowers!! They should be about done and I should be putting in beans where they are about now. The carrots are more than a month behind also, still nothing to the roots but the tops are looking good.

You must live in the South somewhere. I planted carrots less than a month ago in an old recycling bin, and they are still just showing their seed leaves. No other leaves yet.

I am replanting my carrots today. I had to weed the bed and since it's been 3 weeks and no sign of a carrot, it is time for a do over. With the seed shortages, it is concerning. I will save as much seed as possible this year before eating it all up.

Good job! Did you end up with more or less than you wanted?

it's the most to date from that bed. I'm hoping I can do even better with some thinning

never mind.

My carrots did nothing. No germination at all. I guess I should have spent money on new seeds.
My green onions are the same. A total bust.

It is interesting to me which seeds do well and which ones fail. I planted some beefsteak tomato seeds from 2015, and they did very well. I was surprised. Peppers from 2018, not so well.

Actually Tank-Girl,
I thought that was an excellent question.
It got me to thinking, it's not always good when I get to checking things out.

Weedy sometimes its the seeds.I used some seeds I had in fridge for a few years then froze for a couple more uyears and they did ok. I almost threw them away instead of freezing them
