Not too bad. Too many smaller ones means i planted too close together. I spaced them out more this time around and will add more water and manure.... should come out better.

Ive never had them before. Surprised to learn that if you peel the purple ones, they are still orange inside. But yellows are yellow.

    Your carrots look so nice! Mine usually look like eldritch monstrosities, I haven't really figured out why...

    sounds like your soil might be too hard. add more sand to your soil and it should make it easier for the roots to propagate.

    Careful! Adding sand to your soil can make the problem worse.

    This video explains why: https://youtu.be/aWcU8r6sxVo

    Unless you're willing to put in a lot of sand then you're probably best just adding organic material on top and letting nature do its thing.

    Well, glad I read this AFTER I went and bought a bag of sand lmao

    I can use it as cat litter, I guess...

    In all seriousness, thank you for the video! I'll have to do some more research, or just live with my eldrich carrots and hope they aren't calling to the Old Gods.
