How to Grow carrots in pots: tips for the garden of the house

When we grow we realize something of the strength and beauty of Nature. If we believe that to grow flowers and vegetables we have to have a garden, we make a big mistake and there is also proven by the fact that there are many ways to grow fruit trees on the balcony. What I do not know is that the vegetables can be grown in pots and the carrot is a vegetable that is distinguished by its early ripening, color intense, and the particular scent.

And then you put the colorful joy of digging up these roots? There is no comparison! To start, buy the seeds of carrots in a specialized facility or to directly find the plants we see that then transfer to a pot deep enough - from 35 cm up - to contain the development of the carrots. We can also get a wooden box from the grocery store under the house: the filled with soil rich in organic matter and well-draining so as to avoid standing water that could rot the roots.

The carrots can be sown as early as next month, April through July, but we can always bury our seeds, maybe choosing a quality early. In fact, we can sow in autumn, but in that case it is best to choose seeds that germinate more slowly to protect them from the cold of winter. Bury the sow and we pay attention to irrigate the soil moderately, so it's never too dry nor too humid.

If we've equipped on how to build a greenhouse on the balcony, the seedlings of carrot will go right under the sheet, but if we spread the vessels, however copriamoli with a cloth to protect them in the initial phase. The bank vegetables, carrots are all year round, but if we are to grow them - so in smaller quantities - see the passage of time that leaves even the signs on our plants: to grow carrots, in fact, it takes in average a couple of months, so attrezzatevi early if you plan to use them for something special.

The garden also serves to realize the nature of seasonality in a time where we can eat the same fruits and vegetables almost every day of the year, as if the hot and cold do not have any role. The planting of carrots, as well as keep their fruit in the ground, are also very nice to see, because the grass that grows on the surface is deep green, thin grouped in tufts, which will serve as a lever to pull out the carrots .

When you bite into a tender and fragrant carrot in our backyard will be a time to remember!
