Thanks for doing this follow up and for always being so detailed on your videos. Will be great to see the difference between doing each for spring vs fall planting considering the different conditions, if you decide to do it again.

@jasonhatfield4747 Год назад

This was an awesome experiment! Carrots seem to be the one crop that everyone does differently and you actually took the time to test all these different methods! Great work:) I used a double layer of row fabric to cover the soil over my carrot bed this spring and got very fast, consistent germination (within a week). I'm trying it again right now to see if I'll be as lucky mid-summer.

@GrowfullywithJenna Год назад

That's a good idea!

I found your different methods for planting carrots very interesting. I am interested in seeing the results of using these methods in the summer planting. You do an excellent job of describing the procedures for this novice gardener. I am hopeful that I will actually be able to grow carrots this year. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@GrowfullywithJenna Год назад

Hoping to! I'm very curious myself!

@casualgardeningwithdustin Год назад

It makes a lot of sense to me that germination would have been slowed under a board or cardboard in the spring. They're great methods for keeping your seeds from drying out when planting in summer for a fall harvest, but in the spring they're contraindicated because the soil is still thawing, and covering it up will slow the thawing process. Thanks for making this video! It was a lot of fun seeing the results of your experiment.

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely!

@ndbg46881 Год назад

Very interesting results! I never could understand why the "mixing with sand" method would work. But your carrots are beautiful!

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

I suspect the idea came from the fact that many other types of small seeds are mixed with sand to make broadcast sowing easier (wild flowers are the main example I can think of).

@fraservalleychris2958 Год назад

Yes, it's a great video, and I would love to see the results vs. summer planting!

I definitely go the pre-germed seed route with parsnips-- I have much better results that way!

@ddc2343d 7 месяцев назад

Just saw your video about spacing carrots. I'm terrible at thinning my carrots, and they always grow weird because they are too close together. Last year, I 3d printed tall soil block makers. I planted my carrots inside in soil blocks, and about two weeks after they sprouted, I transplanted them to the garden with the appropriate spacing. Making the soil blocks was time-saving since my carrots didn't need to be thinned. I didn't experience any transplant shock with them.

@JohnJohn-wr1jo 11 месяцев назад

Excellent video Jenna. I have used the board method for years along with thinning, its worked well for me. I also soak my seed for about 4 hours. Sow and then sift about 1/8 inch of very fine soil covering the seed, water, and then placing a 1x6 centered over each row.The key for carrots is having the perfect soil/compaction and the bed/soil as level as humanly possible. I generally grow my carrotts in 24" x "48" raised beds that are 12" high. The smaller bed makes it easier for me to sow and thin.

@JohnJohn-wr1jo 11 месяцев назад

Wanted to add that I believe a lot of gardeners mistakenly believe their having germination issues when they are floating their seeds to the edge of their beds when they water early on. I only see germination issues in the heat of mid summer

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

@sutdave1 11 месяцев назад

Excellent information. Carrots can be very difficult just to get to germinate. I have experimented myself over the years. One thing will share that seems to really make a difference is soaking your seeds in luke warm water for an hour or two before sewing them. I have also found that if you drain them, spread out on a paper towel and then cover with another paper towel it makes them easier to sew and seperates the seeds out. I have found this method improves germination by at least 60%. The other thing i have learned is there are a million different brands of seed out there but quality makes a difference with carrots the higher quality seeds are more consistent. Most other garden seeds ive not noticed that much difference but it does with carrots. Feel free to share this information with your viewers.

@GrowfullywithJenna 10 месяцев назад

@jimchristensen965 Год назад

Thanks Jenna, sowed carrot seed earlier today zone 5, central Iowa and covered with a single layer of burlap and then covered real lightly with Little Bluestem straw. I think that I will have good results. We shall see. Your carrot sowing trial was interesting. Keep up the great work/fun Jenna!

I always figured putting seed into any kind of mixture wouldn't be helpful. I'm looking forward to thinner paper. I went to Dollar Tree and bought some really thin tp, made seed tape and put it away for safe keeping from my cats. I'm still looking and hopefully will find it😂❤😅

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

@courtneysorensen1004 11 месяцев назад

I also found the cornstarch sowed too thickly. Although maybe too many seeds per qty or thin gel-and saved seeds that were still sticky… take the time to hand sow. I did cover mine with frost cloth as much for moisture and some early spring heat retention as keep the birds out-this worked well!

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

Some folks pointed out that I should not have cut the hole in my cornstarch gel bag so big… not sure if it will completely remedy my issues with it, but I’m going to try!

@@GrowfullywithJenna I have three sizes of the Ladbrooke blockers. I’ve used the mini 20 (3/4”) and the 5 (1.5”) the most in the past few years. Now, there are the swift blockers. 😭 Won’t be able to justify those for a while!! 😅 I have had great success with them. This past winter I invested in the Epic pots and trays. The root systems I got from them were top notch! It’s been so much fun getting back into seed starting and trying out different methods.

@priayief Год назад

Wonderfully informative trial. I live in semi-desert where it's common to see dry hot weather with temperatures more than 40C (105F). In mid July, I thoroughly soak my soil before planting carrots, make a shallow furrow, cover the seeds with thin vermiculite, run a sprayer over the furrows then cover with plywood. When the seeds germinate, I remove the plywood then use a timer to spray them for about one minute three times a day: 11:00, 14:00 and 17:00. They also get watered thoroughly for about 15 minutes every second day at 05:00, along with the other veggies in my raised beds. Tender carrot seedlings are difficult to mulch effectively so I will apply mulch lightly between rows and increase the mulch as they mature and after thinning. I too find thinning carrots is tedious, no matter how careful I am with sowing the seeds. I'd love to see you continue these tests and maybe you will find a more efficient way to minimize the amount of thinning required. Love your channel and love your trials. Always credible, creative and informative. Thank you.

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

I'll stop whining about having to water them every other day now 😆! Definitely much trickier to get them to germinate in your climate.- using a timer is a smart choice!

I enjoyed seeing your experiment outcomes. Thinning, for me is always a job I don't like. Jeff, from the Ripe Tomato Farm channel just snips the unwanted carrot tops as they germinate and lets the stronger ones continue growing. I might try that method next season. Have you ever seen his videos? He is in north western Canada. You have great content as does he. For viewers like me it is the best of both worlds! You are both pros! Take care Jenna!

Pre germinating some more carrots, hopefully they can hold on. My early planted carrots are doing fine, the ones (main crop) I planted a couple weeks ago, kaput!!! Enjoy your videos, back to the drawing board. Stay Well!!!

I’m glad your early planting is doing well at least! It’s so hard to get a good start with carrots with hot & dry weather! Good luck!

You read my mind ! I was just thinking about this bc its almost time to plant the fall carrots. Thank you so much this is going to be a game changer !

Typically for my summer plantings, I have good results thoroughly saturating the soil after planting and covering with a board! When I don't do this, the seed often does not germinate. I'm really curious to see how these results will change with the summer planting.

Very interesting. Yes, I would love to see a second experiment.

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

I'm definitely doing the summer test! I'm too curious not to test it out!

@michellejames5953 Год назад

I love all your tests. I grew carrots for the 1st time by winter sowing and they actually grew really well! I used a large white vinegar jug that was probably 1.5 gallons, so I was able to get my soil level higher than a milk jug

How fun. Did you let them grow in the jug until harvest? Or did you transplant them?

@michellejames5953 Год назад

@@Talula72 they stayed inside the jug until harvest

Nice idea!

Love watching your tests... especially when the results are so clear. I just sowed some carrot seeds recently... I might have to try your approach for some of the remaining seeds.

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

Hope your carrots do great!

I would love to see the fall test!

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

I think I'm going to! I'm too curious to see the results not to do a summer test!

Yes, I'd be interested in seeing the difference in methods in a summer planting. Never tackled a fall planting of carrots yet, but I'm going to try this month. Thanks for sharing!

@GrowfullywithJenna 11 месяцев назад

I think I’ve got to do the fall test- I need to know what happens!! 😄

Please do a summer carrot germination test. It’s hard germinating carrots in summer even here in the cooler Pacific Northwest. Thank you so much for these tests, super interesting to see your results!
