When I decided to stay at home with the family and give up my job that I have worked since my late teens, I never thought that I was going to love gardening as much as I do.
From learning about gardening mistakes to avoid, to what easy vegetables to grow, gardening has become sort of my mini passion. How to plant carrots was one of many challenges I faced as a beginner gardener.
The reason I was sort of intimidated about growing my own carrots was, well, I never done it before. Also, I was trying to be so careful not to fail at gardening that I thought growing carrots on my own required some sort of expertise.
Why do I love planting carrots each year since starting?
The truth is that carrots are a great source of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is important for skin health, eyesight, and growth. They are a good source of vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. Carrots are amazing; they also have vitamin B6 and other minerals and so much more.
My decision to plant carrots was not only because it's not only good for you but to be able to start growing my food as well.
If you are asking yourself if planting carrots are for you, the answer is yes! Carrots are easy to grow and so delicious too. For this reason, I wanted to give you the resources about how to plant carrots to help you.
Carrots can be grown outside, inside, in containers, and even inside plastic bottles! Don't believe me? Check out these tips and resources on how to plant carrots that have helped me throughout the years.
