The part of the carrot plant that is eaten is the root. It is usually orange, elongated and pointed at the tip, although some cultivars can be short, round, red, purple, or yellow in color and have a blunt tip.
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.
