Beschreibung

The classic among the root vegetables: the carrot. The beet is the storage organ of the plant and varies in shape and color (yellow, orange to purple) depending on the variety. In the second year, the carrot shoots and forms an inflorescence. Then the root withers and is no longer edible.

Anbautipps

Carrots prefer deep, loose soil with a high humus content and a good supply of nutrients. Early and summer carrots should be sown as early as possible from mid-February, as germination takes up to 45 days at 5°C. The seedlings grow very slowly and need a lot of attention at the beginning so that they are not overgrown by weeds. It is a good idea to sow a row of radishes next to each row of carrots as marker seed. After germination, the seedlings should be thinned out.
