Here we are going to teach you how to grow carrots because they are part of our diet and because they are full of vitamins and minerals. If you have a garden it would be a great idea to grow your own carrots instead of buying them from the grocery store. They are very easy to cultivate and they taste different when you grow them on your own.

Here are some tips on how to grow carrots in your garden:

• First pick a site in your garden, it must be sunny and the soil must have a Ph between 5.8 and 6.8.
• Once you have found the perfect site it is time to dig holes for your carrots. They should be 12 inches in depth and you should remove any rocks that might injure your vegetables.
• In the hole at a lot of organic matter. This is very important because fertilizer will make the soil lighter and it will have a high level of retaining water. If you have a moist soil your carrots will grow sweeter and less fibrous.
• Depending on where you live you have a certain period in the year when you can plant you carrot seeds. If you live in a cool region you have to wait for the last frost to sow them in the ground. If you live in a warm area you can plant them in the spring or in the fall.
• If you want your seeds to germinate faster all you have to do is soak them in water about 10 days before you put them in the ground. Keep them in a glass full of water about 6 hours.
• Make room in your carrots before the plants on top grow big. You should live about 3 to 4 inches between you carrots.
• Spray your carrots with compost tea to make sure that you carrots grow strong and healthy. Also make sure that you water them at least once a week.
• Harvest your carrots as soon as you notice that they turn deep orange.
• Use them in any dishes you want and you will notice the difference. Do not harvest them if you do not intend to use them because they last longer if you keep them in the ground.

This is how to grow carrots in the comfort of your garden. As you can see it is very easy and worth it because you get to eat carrots without chemicals.
