I didn't know they were biannual. I typically plant twice as much, so I can harvest a fresh batch in the spring (Northern Ontario here). One time I decided to let a few continue to grow and they began to rott? So idk what happened, but it wasn't going to flower.
Thanks a lot..
We are in Illinois. Is it o.k. to store seeds in the garage over winter since it gets so very cold? Thank you.
Can we use carrot tops instead?
…and with that easy to understand presentation you gained another subscriber. Thank you.
Thanks
could i buy a carrot from the store and grow that to have seeds the same year?
Fantastic video. Thank you.
So you dont harvest it, and you leave it in the ground and somehow it pops up the next year?
that looks like a colony of flytraps. DONT PUT YOUR FINGERS IN IT!
How much do you need to water the replanted carrot root in a container and when you harvest the seed-how do you store it?
Wow. I didn't know carrots come from Afghanistan
I would like to know what is the best way to deal with the carrot fly and it's larva?
Wait. I have a carrot that is flowering…planted the seed this year.
@MIgardener For some reason my first year carrots flowered, but carrot seed moths planted their caterpillars! When I finally figured out what was wrong I'd lost many umbras! I picked out all the brats that I could find. Is there anything else I can do?
I planted carrots this year in spring and they are going to seed and it looks like I will get seeds sometime in the next month. And this is the first year that I have successfully plant and harvest carrots.
I have grown my carrot seeds at the beginning of this September when do I get the seeds please?
What if I get flowers first year? Are they viable seeds?
What if your carrots go to seed in the first year?
Great video. Thank you. Hope you don't mind me saying. Just to say you need some zinc. The white dots on your nails shows your lacking zinc.
Can you keep the carrots outside in the winter for the second growing year? Or should you take them inside ?
What about cross pollination?
I live in alaska. How do I keep the carrot over the winter?
Soooo, how did you sort the bugs out? Is it okay to freeze the carrot seed to kill any bugs and keep them good.
BiAnnual is TWICE a year. BiEnnial is once every two years.
Will a carrot produce a flower every year, but seeds every 2? I left a carrot in the ground this summer because it grew flowers and I was hoping to get seeds. Or won't it have seeds this year?
Can you plant carrot seeds in a container for saving seeds the following year and is September too late for doing so?
Thanks you for your knowledge on saving carrots seeds. I live in N.C. and I plant carrots in the fall. You can't find seeds.Walmarts had seeds in the summer but in August all seeds are sent back to the co. So its impossible to find carrot seeds for the fall. The same with onion seeds.
