I tried scattering my carrots last year and I really surprised by how well they did. I also did the same thing with my radishes with complete success. On the plus side, once they were up and flourishing there was minimal weeding to be done!!

I love carrots I'm planting tri color
ones this year. I live in South Florida planting my garden this week. I'm 75 love growing my garden each year

My spring kale made it through the summer. They weren't happy, but they never bolted, and now they are looking mighty good.

I had to do a bit of research to understand Dog's bucket vs TN 😆

[aileensmith]

FINALLY got our first decent crop of carrots this year. Planted carrots a couple of weeks ago and they are looking promising. Tomorrow or the next day we plan on planting a different variety in another container. As always Thank You for another great video!

Northern AL here --- I overwinter my carrots. Only winter I had trouble was last year with the artic blast

If you water them in then place a piece of cardboard over them and water it so it's heavy and won't blow away, then you won't need to water every day. The cardboard prevents the sun from evaporating your moisture as fast. Just remember after a few days lift up the cardboard everyday to see if they germinated, if so pull off the cardboard.

I grow a few carrots here in Tennessee. They usually do good overwintering.

I'm going to try growing them in pots this winter. If it gets too cold I'll just bring in the garage until it warms up. NE Illinois.

I'm in southern NC. Always sow carrots first of August and cover with shade cloth until they sprout. I overwinter beautiful carrots. Love tendersweet variety.

Piedmount area NC March is our time to plant, zone 7B.

[jamesfields]

I'm in Lumberton NC and I over winter them

[timothytimmerman]

We over winter in high desert California. Morning Temps in the mid 20's most of winter and down to 20 a few times.

[shirleyk]

Perfect timing. I'm planning on planting my carrot seeds real soon. Hopefully we'll get some rain in the next few days for a good start in the carrot patch.

[victorandrews]

Wow! Blown away by your comments on sewing carrots, thick and not thinning them. But I'm gonna try it!

[jamestboehm]

I'm so interested in walking onions. To have onions that reproduce off themselves i find so intriguing, forever onions are what i want to spend space growing.

I’m in Central, Mississippi and I planted carrots for the first time this year, even though the winner was colder than normal and I didn’t have my soil right at all. They still survive the winter.

I've had good luck with overwintering carrots in a river delta area in Maritime NW Wa for decades, protected exposure. However I'm almost in Canada now and will have to see if I can manage it in raised beds cause no way you could grow carrots in the glacial cement I have now. Had to go to all raised beds. Wish me luck!

I had to dinosaur kale over winter and one of them is 4 ft ish and putting on seeds. Im going to let them seed out then collect those over winter seeds. Maybe they have adapted to our weather in Washington State! Thanks!
