Carrots are a tasty root crop and a staple in many vegetable gardens. Whether you grow the classic orange roots or heirloom varieties that can be purple, red, or white, carrots are low-maintenance but benefit from regular watering and fertilizing.
Giving carrots the right nutrients at the ideal time means good-sized roots that taste fabulous. Carrots may be regarded as light feeders, compared to many other vegetables, but they still perform at their best when fed at the time of planting and again through the season.
