Hello guys and girls out there in the carrot growing world.

Today we're going to solve all the problems that you could ever run into as far as growing carrots go.

They're easy to grow, but also they're very finicky.

So if you give them what they need, they do well with little maintenance and little effort.

However, if they don't get what they need, then they can be a living nightmare.

So these are all going to be split up into the different categories of problems that you can run

into.

So first, we're going to talk about problems that have to do with the cold.

So are your carrot plants bolting quickly or trying to set seed?

If that's the case, it's quite possible that temperatures below

freezing in early spring are causing it. Young plants that were started too

early can sometimes panic and they start to propagate before they die out. So you can solve

that by building a cold frame or simply not starting them that early. Carrots that are pale

in coloration at harvest, they are experiencing symptoms of being too cold as well.

So if the air temperature is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit, carrots that develop will be a bit paler and they will not be as

flavorful as roots carrot roots that were a bit warmer. So one way to solve that is to

add a thick layer of mulch or again try the cold frame technique if you're in that colder climate.

Now, what about heat-based growing problems?

So just like cold, heat can cause your carrots to actually bolt quickly and try to set seed.

However, with heat it's harder to slow down that process.

It's easier to warm things up than to cool things down.

Harvest before extreme heat sets in is really one of your best
