I know my raised bed wasn't deep enough for some of my carrots. But this is just crazy. It is deeper then 3 inches. I don't know why it curled up.
These are the other ones I picked. Their finger carrots. They only should grow 5 to 8 inches. These did great. I just can't figure out what happen to that carrot. It started turning up after it grow 3 inches . Any ideas. I am lost.
To reach the water source, maybe?
ReplyDeleteA carrot is a taproot. If the water wasn't below it any more, then the root had to adjust to obtain water. Maybe the water was draining differently for that carrot.
Got me, I never have ANY luck with carrots!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it just wanted to come back up to the surface? Maybe it didn't like being dirty?? Not much of a green thumb.
