Planting carrots

Carole on Jun 07, 2015I would stick to plants that grow their bounty above the ground - leafy veg not root vegies in pots. They need a lot of nutrients and room to grow down. A raised garden bed if you can manage it would be better. Tomatoes might also be better for pots.Helpful Reply

J on Jun 08, 2015at least a foot or more. if they cannot grow down enough they get all snarly and crooked. still taste good just look funny. so you will need lots of big deep pots for any kind of harvest but it is a good learning idea for kids and or just for kicks.Helpful Reply
