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.
Knowing how to tell when carrots are ready to harvest is important for getting a good crop. First, consult your seed packet to see how many days it takes your chosen variety of carrots to mature. Baby carrots are usually ready to harvest 50 to 60 days from the planting date. Mature carrots need a few more weeks and are usually ready in about 75 days. Most carrots are ready to harvest when the shoulders are 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter, but again, there is much variation depending on the variety.
