My Carrots turned white years ago, cross pollination i guess. we love them white and kept the seeds.

My daughter decorated and planted carrot seeds at Bunnings. The bunnings seeds were on cardboard like matches that you stick in the soil. There was multiple seeds on each piece so when do i split up the plants so they have room to grow? The green tops are still very thin and fine but are starting to get that carrot looking leaf.

I wouldn't as carrots don't like root disturbance. wait till some are edible size and use them as baby carrots

when thinning out carrots cut the heads off the ones you would normally pull out ...that way you will not disturb the soil .happy gardenjng

plant carrots with onions. the fly is attracted to the carrot smell and powerful smell of onions confuses them.

Hi guys, I live near Ipswitch in southeast Queensland I'm new to gardening but I've been reading alot but I'm have trouble finding information on growing carrots and onions for seed, I have ordered heirloom seeds online that i should have soon, I'm aware that carrots and onions are bi-annual not seeding till the second year. I really want more seeds then i will get in the mail as soon as i can. Is it to late for me to grow for seed this late in the season? I'm planning on bagging the flowers just before they open. how long should i leave the bag on for? will I have to shake it to stir up pollen? Thanks in advance.
