Growing carrots in containers
You know that you can grow all kinds of veggies in containers!
Maybe you’re renting or maybe you just don’t have the space for a traditional vegetable garden. Try growing in containers!

I had a few extra carrot seedlings (yes I started carrot seeds in my little Big Lots greenhouse and transplanted them – not usually recommended but I’ve found it works for me) . Most I planted in a raised bed but a couple I planted in a small clay pot just to see what would happen.
You can grow longer carrots if you use a deeper pot. I got one crooked carrot that was growing over on the side of the pot but the others are good. I think I had a mix of Tom Thumb and Little Finger carrots.

You did good! I like your flatware plant marker.
Oh how cool!
I’d never thought of carrots in pots. But why not?
I’ve got a few containers set aside for the spring I wanted to grow strawberries next year. But hey! I may give carrots a try.
Here in Texas it’s said you can grow carrots any time… I planted some in the raised bed out front, but haven’t seen anything pop up yet.
I’m still hoping!
Thanks for showing your success. Glad to see these ideas, Pat
WOW, carrots in a pot! Great idea! I have plenty of extra pots… need to find good and tasty uses for them! Thanks for the idea! Have a blessed day, HUGS!
That is awesome!

Sounds like a great idea! And I love your stamped veggie markers every time I see them!
Love your marker! I planted some carrot seeds a couple of weeks ago for a fall crop, but haven’t seen any germination.
I need to seriously consider this!! :o)
I am having a little give a way.
Would you like to drop by? :o)

After this hot, dry summer, I found that the things growing in pots did so much better. I’m trying it again this fall too. We actually have a peanut plant growing in one of our decorative pots. We feed our squirrels Critter Crunch, so that’s how we think it got in there! I can’t wait to dig it up this fall and see what we get! I have had good success with potatoes in the past, too. Always love seeing what you’re growing, Manuela!
