TIP for storing carrots in the fridge, add paper towels to the bags and they will keep for months without sprouting or losing their crunch and flavor.

For the squirrels and chipmunks digging up crops i went to Walmart found the cheapest biggest jar of red pepper flakes. Sprinkled heavily on my beds and around plants. Had to do it twice due to rain, but haven't had a problem with them the rest of the season. They don't like hot peppers

[@Angie-jg4nz]

My carrots are up. 2-4x8 beds. I used white plastic to lay over the beds, after I planted and watered. Keeps them moist from condensation but you have to check every day, after about the 6th day to see if there are ANY, sprouting, if so then I take off the plastic and keep them watered, as they all sprout. Have used brown shipping paper, card board, and just kept those wet, it works too.

Hi guys, I have great (and late) transplants ready to go out of your 162 cell tray, I hope they get going by the time it starts to really cool down. Someone said the winter will be extra cold this year. The old goat is hiding behind the longer yellow pumpkin on the bottom shelf. Love your show!

Love fall gardening! I am trying a second round of tomatoes and okra. Lots of blooms and some good size tomatoes. If nothing else, I will have green tomato salsa. Bok choy is doing great. Edamame is loaded. Can’t wait till it is ready. New beds ready for onions, garlic, carrots & potatoes. Jalapeños are still producing. Love your show. I have learned so much!

I can't hardly wait to eat carrots from my garden. I'm also growing beets but I'm not a big fan of them, although I like them pickled, but only Anna's pickled beets. I'm going to try and copy the recipe by the ingredients list on the jar.

I just hand water my carrots in my garden or raised beds, or containers in the morning and evening daily until they pop up good, then I go to once a day. Never covering them. Had great success .

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sounds great!

[@jackgraham3393]

Beets are our best seller. Thankful I have a Hoss seeder, makes planting about 400 ft of them a snap. Usually plant them about three different times during the year. Boro pelleted seed has became my favorite. Think it would be safe to say they produce about a pound per foot of row.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

That is awesome!

[@robertbridge7678]

Have beets, Radishes, cabbage and harvesting Pariss Island Lettuce!! Have Carrots in grow bags doing great!!! Also Yellow Wax Bush Beans and Peas also!! Hoping weather stays in the 60 to 70's for a few more weeks!!! Zone 8A. Waiting on my onions from Hoss in November!!!

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sounds great!

[@davidward1259]

Well, the old goat is hanging out in the pumpkin patch bounty behind Mama Hoss on the bottom shelf. I'm starting some carrots in my fabric pots that I used earlier in the summer for my potatoes. Soil is all peat based potting mix and I will top off with some compost mixed in (we needed a lot of compost this past year to supplement the raised beds, so I bought 2 of the cubic yard bags of Soil3 from Super Sod on early 2023 sale, and I have some left over). I also like to mix in a little triple-12 fertilizer with a custom blend of micro-nutrients I make. Our fabric bags are 15 gallon. I have 2 bags that have a volunteer 2nd crop of potatoes in them (guess we missed a small one or two?). But I have 10 bags overall I can dedicate to carrots to over winter. Will be top watering but may put on drip once they are up (the main line runs beside the platform the bags are on, but I did not have the potatoes on drip). I have a Dramm mister head I bought from you a while back that I will use to water the seeds/seedlings with. I'm in 8A, McDonough, GA so overwintering carrots should not be a problem unless we have another really weird weather winter (but who knows....)

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sounds like a great plan.

[@austinwilloughby3439]

Great video on root crops! Got to get started on all those new raised beds! I pickle lots of beets cannot keep them ,I sell all I can make! Save that pickled beet juice for salad dressing so good! Thanks so much! Happy gardening! Old goat is behind Mama Boss 3rd shelf next to pumpkins!

This is the first year I am trying to grow carrots over winter. I live in Centralia Washington and planted my carrots and beets in late August. I'm hoping for a good crop. My beets are doing well and my carrots are about 2 inches tall.

[@gardeningwithhoss]

Sounds great!

[@Christian-jx3nx]

Carrots grow better in plastic pots imo and experience. They need tons more water than instructed especially before the greens can provide shade and water retention, depending on your rainfalls of course. Screened soil. Bonemeal and high water soluble nitrogen to get the greens going. My 2 cents of successful growing in spring/summer after trying everything! Danvers carrots most successful for my zone 7. Not sure if fish emulsion helped or not.

[@SuperWhatapain]

Y'all looking good! The hat and the hair down 👍. Thanks for this info. I moved and am REALLY behind planting. Have to reestablish planting plots. Still trying with some containers for now. 9B area. God bless y'all

Friend of mine got a 22 lbs of carrots. She gave me like half the bag . I had already canned some I had gotten earlier. So now I have canned around 42 pts . And I have carrots growing in the garden . And y’all I really don’t like carrots that well . My roommate does and he fixed some I canned like a candy yams . Y’all there was some I thought I was eating yams .
