Any seated hip opener will do. But if youâd like to stretch out tight front thighs, itâs hard to beat half-hero pose (Virasana). Hereâs how: sit on the floor with some chip-foam yoga blocks, or a stack of books, at your side. Bend one leg back in hero pose (Virasana). Bend the other knee and rest your foot on the floor.
Pay attention to the seed packet for harvesting information. You can begin picking carrots about 20 days before they reach maturity. So if the variety you choose is ready for harvest in 70 days, you can begin harvesting them at 50 days for baby carrots. The carrots will become larger everyday after this until they reach full maturity. When harvesting carrots, grasp to tops firmly and tug gently.
Carrots are sensitive to the pH level and grow best at around 6- 6.5 pH. They also grow best in loose rich moist soil where they can grow a healthy root. Loosen up the soil with a tiller or plow or hoe 8 to 9 inches deep so the carrot roots can fully develop. Break up clumbs of hard soil and remove rocks that could block the carrotsâ growth. Plant seeds a quarter to a half inch deep. Space rows a foot to 18 inches apart. Thin the seedlings after three weeks or so, so that the carrots you leave in the soil will be able to grow up big and yummy. Be sure to weed. To have a constant supply of carrots, plant your rows weeks apart so they mature at separate times.
