Carrot



See, this is what I got after spending 6 months in growing these little poor carrots. Ya, I am quite disappointed but it was really fun as this is the 1st time I had tried to grow carrot. Sis Ummuaidan, I really need your guidance for this…:p

BTW, the carrot leaves are really smell very good. Is it edible?

  2. sy pernah semai dan tuai carrot. carrot jenis tumbuhan berubi jd ia perlukan byk baja dan air. kalau lambat tuai dan kurang air, ubinya jd keras dan berserat. kekurangan air juga boleh sebabkan ubi carrot jadi bercabang2...lagi satu, kalau bahagian atas ubi da hampir hijau, cepat2 kambus dengan tanah. ubinya akan jadi hijau kalau terkena cahaya matahari.

  3. Olive.., mana carrotnya? Most carrots can be harvested in less than three months and they can be picked anytime they reach a usable size. The largest carrots will have the darkest, greenest tops, but don't leave the roots in the ground too long or they will be tough.

  4. The leaves are edible. But the older leave will taste stronger than the young ones. Try yang daun nampak muda lah sikit.
