It is important not to rush the harvesting of carrots when time

All heartfelt greetings from the country! 💁

The most enjoyable moment in the affairs of garden - the harvest, and then extracted blood difficulty. But, as it did not want to pull the girl out of the prison for its green braids and fill cellars, rush to the carrot is not worth the beds.

Carrots, in contrast to the closest sisters - beet root plodding and is not afraid of the autumn chill. Responding to your question, when taken for the collection of the orange crop, it is important to find a middle ground, because:

• Root crops, harvested prematurely master-bustler not scored the maximum possible weight and nutrient storage. The taste of carrots is not so sweet as it could be, it will last another gardener or two a week in the garden. Yes, and with a shelf life may have problems.
• But a mistake to think that the longer the hold carrots in the ground, the more it tastes better and grow... Although it would be nice. But the carrot is already ripe, but continues to sit on the bed for too long before the deep frosts, become loose and may podgniet.

Please forget about all Labuda like Lunar calendars and other signs. A reasonable person does not look at the predictions of an astrologer, invented by himself, and the first signs of readiness to collect carrots.

Root itself prompt a careful gardener, it was time to drag out of beds:

• Plant start thoroughly dry up from the bottom. "Yellow transformation" can be seen all summer due to drought and other unpleasant surprises. But when it becomes massive and clearly gaining momentum, ovoschevodu need to think about the imminent harvest of root crops.
• Nadergat couple of carrots from all over the beds and appreciate the catch: if the roots have reached the stated size? A sure sign of maturity - the growth of lateral roots, which can not always be seen, not pulling root.

And now the important information for growers, plant a late-ripening varieties of carrots. Incidentally, I always like and I choose for the main part of annual landings. Just because later the carrot is better kept. Checked!

Know the sort - it is very important. This is another reason not to throw away the packaging of the seeds immediately after seeding, as some careless vacationers.

Late-carrots, which is supposed to mature after 110-140 days after germination, it is best to leave in the garden until the first night frosts. And sweeter taste will, and safety. In that year, I pulled out my carrots in October, and no complaints were not to harvest. Put a "Thumbs Up" if the article turned out to be useful! Thank you ❤
