Early carrots in a no dig bed at 60 days since sown #vegetablegardening

You never know for sure, until pulling carrots, what you will find.
So this video is unscripted, and I’m pleased to say that the carrots look promisingly long and healthy, from sowing in a surface mulch of a half inch of compost.
60 days from showing is fast and I attribute that to the warm spring we have had, plus the energy work I do here to warm the ground. For example, placing five sticks around the garden, as I explain in my New Energies book.

  1. Mine are in my hot bed, planted about the same time as you, and they are about the same size of greenery but I haven't seen any shoulders yet. Not looked for a week so maybe I'll look later. Also got good fungus growth!. They've not been dry, I don't think, I've watered them.

    Finally, I may be on the same schedule as you for something! 😊

  2. Last year I enlarged my garden but at the end I went out of compost, so one end of my garden instead of having the initial 6-8 inches of compost we usually put the first year, only had 3 inches and then native soil. And by mistake, I sowed a few carrots there. It was too late when I realized my mistake, I expected very small deformed carrots.

    Imagine my surprise when all my carrots were 6-8 inches and most of them in perfect condition, not deformed. They were able to pierce into the native soil no problem. People thinks that you need to till a garden in order to get good root crops. Couldn't be further from the truth.

  3. Beautiful looking carrots! I'm about to sow my winter carrots. I've heard you say once that you can intersow them with garlic, but i'm wondering how i would harvest my garlic in about a month or so without disturbing the young carrots?
