Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

I think carrots grow best in sandy soil. Mine were very small since i planted them late, so i left them in the ground and they still have green tops.

Baby carrots are good! Carrots are one thing I never had any luck growing (unless you count little toothpick shaped things ok).[/QUOTE

Carrots are a biannual, so they will go to seed the second year if left in the ground.

If you are not having much luck with carrots consider this possibility.

Interesting, i never knew that. Once they produce seed are the roots woody?

I had an inquiry about garden apps today, anyone recommend particular ones?

 

[CapricornFarm]

Anyone interested in swapping seeds? Seems like now would be a good time for those that collect them.

I would like to if anyone else does when I get my seeds I ordered in.

I'm in for the seed swap... and I'm the asker of good gardening apps.

Yes, they will be inedible the second year.

Pruned the fruit trees today.
Dh is still pru ing the Bradford Pear trees so he can cut the grass under them without having to duck. Lol

Thought I'd see if any of these apple cuttings will root.
