Easiest Way to Grow LOTS of Carrots & Harvest Carrots

[@HamiltonRb]

I tried growing carrots last year, and a family of rabbits did everything but drop me a thank you note for buying them dinners

[@LeapingFrogg]

Try growing them in containers. Works wonders. Put the containers where they can't reach it.

[@Urbanfarmgirl_Kaija]

Same here. I'm just now understanding that the carrots tops get tall. Finally gotta fence

[@terry902]

I plant in containers and my problem is rats. I found that if I cover the pots with tulle at night my plants are safe. Some pots I can use wire trash baskets upside down and they fit the pots perfectly. If I forget to cover the plants, the tops of my potatoes, parsley and carrots are eaten down to the ground by morning. Because of my pets rat traps and poisons are out of the question.

[@terry902]

I just noted in a response to my comment on their carrot fries recipe about a month ago, Hollis said he was planning to release a video on container grown carrots in October. I ordered the Bolero seeds for my fall garden, can’t wait to see the video…

[@habh8r77]

Hollis, in a world gone mad, hearing your voice and advice keeps me sane…praying for a bountiful harvest. Thx for ur videos.

[@GinasBeautyReviews]

When I’m planting with my boyfriend, I always find myself telling him “well Hollis said….” We are learning so much from you and following your methods. I’ve been sprinkling black kow, bonemeal, and bloodmeal all over my garden, lol 😊

[@homesteadinabox553]

I do this too lol 😂

[@loriwebster8574]

The Secret to all root vegetables is worms! They aerate and fertilize the soil :) I raise millions of worms for fertilizer for my garden and to teach others how to care for them :)

[@donacassel5195]

Great looking carrots. Will we see Nancy canning them? Have a blessed day! Thank you for your great videos.

[@karenandriancontainergardening]

I love watching carrot videos. I also love Nancy's winter coat and hat, and matching boots. That's what I am talking about, gardening in style. You go, Nancy! Take care.

[@desertdanblacksmith1394]

Awesome! You folks are such an inspiration! we are currently reaping the benfits of watching your guidance this winter for the first time. Our carrots, spinach, beets , lettuce and even green house tomatoes out here in the desert. Many Blessings...Prayers for our Country and others !

[@joylouise5417]

Love these progression videos. You always give so many tips and info. Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials-you have definitely improved my gardening! Edited to add I have been using Black Kow since I first saw you adding it several years ago. It is a wonderful addition to my raised beds.

[@theresak4343]

You are incredibly knowledgeable, unlike any other gardeners I watch; sure, their gardens look great without the effort you put, but your carrots are superb; I just started gardening in my little yard with the raised beds, I'm watching all over to learn how to grow veggies.

[@ericasmith6919]

Look at those beautiful carrots 🥕 😍 ❤ 💕!

[@amyhoward8235]

We ordered the same carrot seeds from Johnny's Seed Co., and my husband made the carrot seed template tonight. We will plant our carrots tomorrow! We will keep you posted. Your names are household names in our home and my parents are now subscribed to your channel. Thank you again for everything you do and share. God bless you both and all of your endeavors.

[@tullyacres528]

Thank you so much going in depth with the bone meal. Could you maybe do a in depth video on the bone meal and blood meal. Also I absolutely love the diagrams you do. They really help me understand how this all works. Thank you! -Sandi

[@bigsky5102]

Hi Hollis and Nancy, Thanks so much for everything I have learned through the years. I saw something interesting from a Canadian carrot 🥕 grower last week. I don't remember her channel. Anyway, she made a thick pudding from just cornstarch and water. When it was cool, she stirred in her carrot 🥕 seeds. Then she put it into a ziplock gallon bag. She cut a tiny hole on one corner. Then she made a fine line of carrot seed cornstarch pudding in her row. Covered it and watered. All it cost her was seed, cornstarch and a gallon bag. I thought it was genius and felt shame that I couldn't have thought about it 40 yrs ago. 👋🤣

[@kylelong2117]

I saw that too

[@tianasixkiller4771]

Her channel is Quebec Homestead.

[@bigsky5102]

@@tianasixkiller4771 I checked it. Yes that is her! Thanks 😊 and if they search "Quebec Homestead Carrots" it goes right there. You are awesome! I dont see any reason people can't make the pudding gallons ahead of time and freeze them. I would try with and without seeds. Interesting trial.

[@kele1264]

You know, I was wondering if those devices worked as advertised. I'm glad to here you tested one out, and liked it enough to buy one for yourself. A seed sowing device that actually takes only a couple of minutes to plant 1,000 carrots, and no bending?! Worth it!!! Thanks for showing us how to use it. Pelleted seeds. Ok then. Oh, and you pull, not push. "Develop into the carrots that God meant them to be." Hilariously said! The carrots look so good. I'm certain that the carrots at the store don't taste anywhere near as good as yours. I can't grow year round - NJ is too cold for that. But I look forward to planting my own following your tips. This is another great video. Thank you!

[@marktoldgardengnome4110]

You can do it. We live in Maine. We plant one bed in the Spring, and a 2nd bed after we pull our garlic in Early July. The first bed gets used for fresh bed all summer and early fall. The 2nd bed is left until end of October to be put into fresh storage. A frost or 2 doesn't hurt then one bit. Promise, it works. 😊

[@seedaholicgardens9085]

i got some SWEET DATIL pepper seeds finally! Thank you for recommending them! i am going to try to make dome of Lady Nancy's pepper sauce and i love pepper jelly too, so wish me luck!

Because of your videos, we first heard of black gold. We love it as well. My grandsons love carrots. Thanks.

[@loriwebster8574]

Yes, please ask Nancy to show us how to can the carrots!! That's my newest mission, to learn how to preserve! It's so fun pulling up carrots! I grow multiple color varieties so it's like Christmas, don't know what you are getting until you pull it up!! 😂😂😂 Thanks!

[@marialittlefieldpradokurpu2061]

Praise the Lord Mr Hollis and Ms Nancy! Like I told you it’s my first time growing vegetables today I will be pulling my small patch of carrots 🥕😇 Thank you both for all your knowledge! I’m hoping to plant a bigger harvest to can too! Blessing’s to you both and your loved ones 🙏🏼

[@DudeDave]

Thanks for the tips! I struggled with getting carrots growing the first few times. But, I didn't get frustrated, and now they are doing great! About time to plant more, I've heard to stagger them about 2 weeks to keep em coming... of course its been a month... 😆 Yours look great 👍

[@vallis1469]

Thank you! Have a peaceful week ❤️

[@marktoldgardengnome4110]

This will be our 3rd year growing Bolero carrots. We won't grow anything else. When buying seed from Johnny's look closely at the volume prices. 1 packet, 250 seeds, $5.80. This is for pelleted seed. 1000 seeds, $6.55. Spend the extra .75 cents. Split an order with a/some friends. That's 500 seeds each for $3.28. Also, with pelleted seed you can easily replant individual spaces if a few don't germinate. Best carrots we've ever grown. The most important tip was "Keep the Seeds Moist". Once planted and germination starts, if they dry out your growth rate diminishes greatly, or at very least slows germination down. Do not let the soil surface dry out. Good Luck All 😊 TYFS, Great tips. Mark n Rosa

[@claudiakelly3896]

Those carrots are lovely. Thanks to your videos, I was encouraged to plant some in a 5 gallon container and I have reaped a few so far. May God continue to bless you and your channel.

Black Kow is great. Each time that I’ve purchased it from the big box stores (yes different ones and locations) it’s wet. This makes it very difficult to mix in and spread.

[@marktoldgardengnome4110]

We grow these same carrots. The reason? Old eyes. So much easier to space when planting by hand. Sprinkling regular carrot seed, thinning once they sprout is time consuming and wasteful. Pelleted seed is the way to go.

Hi Nancy and Hollis. I am a fan and I Thanks you so much for sharing your planting techniques and for showing us how to garden. I apply all your techniques to my gardening especially now that I moved my garden in a different area in my house that gets year round sun. I am From Jacksonville Fl and I would very much appreciate if you can share with me when you plant your vegetables so I can plant them at the right time. Thats one that I struggle with. I want to follow your calendar since we have the same zone where I am. Like now I watch this episode when you planted carrots, and here I am planning to plant carrots around this time of the season (March) and I think I am wrong. I really appreciate you helping me with the calendar of veggies to plant. Thank you so much in advance. I look forward to your response.
