Container Carrots?

[4furrypaws]

So. While browsing on Pinterest yesterday I found something that peaked my interest.

Since I probably will not be able to do any major leveling in our mid back yard where I'd like to build an enclosed veggie and fruit gardening this year...I may try this...





Has anyone ever tried such a thing!?!?

I haven't. The only thing I know about carrots is not to move them once you plant them or they may not be straight.

I have tried carrots in containers. They did not grow well. I do not know if it was because of the container, getting too dry, not enough sun. I only had the one season to experiment with, so unfortunately I'm not much help.

No, but I am intrigued.

I saw that yesterday too! I'm going to give it a shot this year. I haven't had any luck growing them in the ground so if they don't work, I won't be upset.

I've done carrots in a container. They turned out okay. Maybe two or three inches long... I did a bad job thinning, so I think they would have been bigger if I had thinned them.

I'm going to give it a try in these ginormous containers H had some tree saplings in. They are probably two feet deep. It will be interesting!
