Carrots represent biannual grassy plant of family of celery. It is one of the most popular vegetables without which it is difficult to imagine dining table. Most of gardeners grow up carrots on the parcel. And by means of one root crop it is possible to receive huge number of planting stock.
Instruction
1. In the first year after crops of sunflower seeds of carrots, root crops which are eaten further begin to develop. But if you the next year put several root crops to the earth, then they will be able to develop in the blossoming plant giving seeds. Therefore since fall it is necessary to select the best root crops of the average size, you store them separately in crude sand. But not the fact that they in full health will hold on to spring, then you will lose planting stock. Some gardeners prefer to select suitable copies of testicles in the spring, just before landing which have remained best of all. Thereby in future generation the property of good lezhkost at storage is put.
2. Pay attention, at the selected carrots tops from where leaves grow should not be damaged. Exactly there kidneys from which the plant will develop further are located. The amount of the selected carrots depends on for what term you want to get seeds (or how many you are going to sow). There is opinion that seeds of carrots keep viability three-five years.
3. In the early spring when the soil has enough got warm, pave the way for landing of carrots. Dig root crops to the earth strictly vertically, tops have to be located three centimeters below than the level of the soil. The distance between the planted carrots has to be about forty centimeters. Then it is abundant water the place of landing. During the summer period in due time water, you loosen and weed beds. Mulching of the soil around the planted carrots can become the good assistant.
4. After a while the young carrot tops of vegetable begins to grow, peduncles appear then. When they enough are extended, will grow up, tie up them to pegs that peduncles were not broken off and have not collapsed. Carrots blossom umbrellas, approximately as fennel. When in umbrellas the seeds become brown, they need to be collected, to dry and remove on storage.
5. Experienced gardeners prefer to store seeds in densely closed glass jars. If seeds have turned out much, it is possible to store them in densely tied plastic bags. Do not forget to sign (what year and whose seeds). Now it is possible not to save planting stock when mortgaging to the earth (but also the special generosity should not show too as then it is necessary to thin out landings). The viability at the seeds which are grown up by the hands is nearly 100%.
