Carrots Caramel

The reasons for cracking carrots are:

  • soil moisture is uneven;
  • oversupply of fertilizers;
  • the top dressing is not quite right;
  • heavy earth (carrots love loose soil);
  • carrots are corny overripe.

To avoid all this, watering should be moderate, watering is best between the rows, watering under the root of the plant should be avoided. If the growing area is characterized by a large abundance of rain, then it will be useful to plant lettuce between the rows.

Planting instructions

It is worth remembering that sandy loam soil is best used for planting carrots. It will be better if onions, cucumbers, potatoes were planted in this place earlier. Sowing itself must be started at the end of April to get early production. The seeds are planted in grooves 3-4 cm deep. A distance of 17-20 cm should be observed between the rows. When 14 days have passed after germination, thinning should be carried out. After the root crop reaches 1 cm in diameter, a second thinning is carried out, in this case 5-6 cm should be left between the plants. Subsequently, the fruits need careful weeding, watering and loosening. Harvesting of this root crop is usually carried out at the end of September. In early November, you can carry out podzimny crops, it is at this time that the temperature most often drops to 5 degrees. Only in this case, the seeds are planted in the soil to a depth of 1-2 cm. In order to obtain carrots for storage, the seeds must be sown at the end of May.

Dmitry, 51 years old, Minsk
I have already tried many varieties of carrots, I liked something, something not quite, but I liked Caramel. I would like to highlight the ease of care, does not cause unnecessary trouble, yet the root crop is weakly susceptible to various diseases. If the seeds are planted in early June, then you can get a good harvest, which is stored for a long time.

I can’t say that I am simply delighted with this variety, but I can’t say anything bad about Caramel. Yet it really tastes good, grows well, keeps well. Since the grandchildren are eating it by both cheeks, it means that we must continue to grow it further, there is nowhere to go.
