Harvesting Carrots: The Picking Method
When your carrots are ready to harvest, the method for picking them is straightforward. As described in gardening guidance, you don't need complex tools or techniques.
Here's the simple way to pick carrots:
- Timing: Ensure your carrots are mature and ready for harvest.
- Grip: Grab the carrot firmly.
- Location: Hold the carrot by the top, specifically close to the base where the leaves meet the root.
- Action: Once you have a firm grip, pull the carrot upwards out of the soil.
This method ensures you pull the entire root without breaking it off from the leafy top.
