Are these vegetables ready to be picked?

[Annalyse]

I have carrots and banana peppers that I’m not sure if I should pick yet.

I planted them a couple months ago not sure the exact date.

 

[Theorrin]

The big peppers i would. The small ones you can if thats the size you want. Carrots could too if thats the size you want also

I would pick the biggest carrots to give the others room. If the peppers have any sign of green still on them I would wait one more week.

Yum!

How do I know their the biggest carrots?

 

[Saveria]

They are the ones that look the widest at the top, but Theorrin is right that as long as they are a good enough size for you, the other ones can continue to grow bigger.

Alright I picked the three that were very close together and hoenstly I thought they grew into one another. I’ll let them sit for a little while longer. I bought these as pre planted so separating them was difficult. I know they can still grow in winter so maybe I’ll plant some seeds in rows and see what happens.

 

[Saveria]

I'm pretty sure planting a new row right now should work fine for you. You want to keep the seeds constantly wet, even if it means watering a couple times a day.

they grew into one another.

They will do that sometimes. I believe certain varieties will do that less, but it also depends on soil and how deep they can go without resistance.
