On April 1st I finally get to plant my carrots! Homegrown carrots are one of my favorite homegrown veggies. In this video you will also see me plant out the rest of my seed potatoes with the Ruth Stout Method.

I'm so glad you got the plastic tool.
You thoroughly enjoyed that ,I was smiling too Its freezing here ,it won’t be much longer for me here in the uk. Hope you had a nice weekend away
I love your garden and your gardening style.
Funny story about carrot seeds, young children and a labrador.
My son, who was 4 at the time "helped Momma" plant carrots.
The dog, Jewel, his shadow was helping. Ahem.
Son sneezed; seeds flew everywhere; and the dog licked them off son.
I found carrots in specific areas that summer. Lol!
I like the Nantes and the Danvers half longs.
Your a big inspiration to me 🙂 thanks.
I love your cardboard idea over the carrots I'm in fla.zone 9a, and it's already getting hot we always seem to go from cold to hot and hot to cold, no spring no fall, or so it seems!! My potatoes are up and getting big..I did 2 beds of onions don't think we will be able to save too many so will be sharing . Have you ever tried sauteed radishes really good, and I have heard some roast them..Im a seat of pants gal, myself..I like to 0lan, but less as I'm getting older
Yay you got a lot planted!
Cannot wait to see all that green
You are beautiful
Spectacular job of planting! Fun to watch! The one thing I wonder about is interplanting radishes in the onion bed because I’m studying how to grow really big onions, and one of the main suggestions is to keep the onion bed completely weed-free. Maybe it will work out just fine…worth a try to experiment.
That square foot guide is so cool! Can’t wait to hear how the leaves work instead of the straw for you
You can give the pulled ones to your chickens
I’ll take a few radishes! I didn’t plant any as Dad doesn’t like them. I’m glad you are using the planting guide!
Yes I used pellet seeds this year too from johnny seeds it took about 2 weeks to germinate I'll only be using pelleted seeds from now on so much easier
I love these videos. Any recommendations on what type of garden soil mixes I can purchase to go in a raised bed that I am going to plant my sweet potato slips in.
I so enjoy your channel. Your energy and love of what you are doing shines thru on your videos. Im so glad i found you. I jam looking forward to sharing your journey with you.
You mentioned no dig, so you’re likely familiar with Charles Dowding. He does a lot of multi-sowing with his crops as well, and it works wonders for carrots, beets, and the like. I‘cave done it for a few years but hadn’t fully committed until last year. I’m adamant about not thinning my seedlings and had a bumper crop of carrots that lasted all season long. Basically you sow your seed and allow them to grow close together, and begin harvesting when they’re small so those nearby will then have room to continue maturing and you’ll get harvests in all sizes and for a longer time. It’s so helpful. Just wanted to put that out there since you mentioned thinning and your struggle with carrot seeds.
I'm so happy I found your channel! Finally, someone in my age group that loves gardening, nature, preserving, and cooking like I do!
Anxious to see how your garden grows with putting the veggies in between other plants!
Your so lucky you don’t have back problems like me. I wish I could do this! Are you able to give some ideas and tips for container gardening?
For the carrot seeds you could always take a few minutes at the table tear little pieces of tissue or paper towels and add one seed to each piece of tissue/ paper towel then ball it up then plant it.
Plastic tweezers work great for tiny seeds, but use the tweezers very gingerly.
I have heard that roasted radishes are.good so may be a way you would like them roasting them with a root vegetable. I'm going to try this
Ok, I’m not trying to be rude at all. I definitely do not understand much of this because I’ve never grown anything, nor are there many fruits or veggies that I can actually eat. So my question is this, if you plant a potato to grow a potato, why not just eat the one you planted??
