Carrots are considered one of the main crops in the diet of Russians. But not all vegetable growers manage to get a rich root crop. It is important to know when it is best to plant carrots before winter in 2021 according to the lunar calendar.

Benefits of planting before winter

In the autumn period there is an opportunity to carry out preparations without haste. It is necessary to clear the beds from vegetation, dig up the ground, fertilize. Then the site should "rest". Preparation of mulching and covering materials will be required.

Podzimnie crops are carried out after the ground freezes. It turns out that there is enough time for all things. Other benefits of planting before winter include the following:

1. The culture is resistant to diseases and pests - by the spring the shoots will already be strong.
2. The fruits are heavy, sweet and large.
3. In the spring, the land is more humid than in the summer.
4. There is still time for urgent spring work.
5. Since the crop is harvested early, vegetables are planted on free plots, which will have time to grow before winter.

Another important benefit is cost savings. In early spring, there will already be fresh vegetables suitable for making healthy salads and preserving.

Autumn planting

Sowing in the fall can yield an early harvest at a time when fresh vegetables are still expensive. It is possible to plant before winter only in regions where there are no cold winters - in temperate and southern regions of the Russian Federation. In areas with severe frosts, there will be no harvest.

The advantage of autumn planting is that the plants are hardened in winter. They will be resistant to temperature extremes. There is a strengthening of immunity to disease.

Recommendations

It is important to know not only when to plant carrots before winter in 2021 according to the lunar calendar, but also how to do it correctly. The following tips will help you with this:

1. Sowing must be carried out before the first severe cold weather. It is advisable to take into account the average temperature level. If it is in the range from 0 to 2 degrees, then you can safely land. When placed in warm soil, germination occurs before the cold weather. As a result, the crop dies before the first frost. It is best to perform the procedure at a time when the first frosts have passed.
2. It is necessary to choose an area that cannot be washed away by melt water in spring. But you also need to look at the light - this culture needs enough light.
3. Be sure to take into account the predecessors. Carrots have the same diseases as beans and parsley. If they were grown on the site, then it is not suitable. Suitable predecessors include tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, potatoes.
4. Fresh organic matter does not affect carrots very well, therefore, manure is applied to the beds 2 years before planting, otherwise the risk of fungal diseases increases. Even in root crops, the vegetative mass increases, so the carrots are medium-sized.

Compliance with these rules will help you get a high-quality harvest.

• when planted before the new moon, the carrots develop in width.

Variety selection

When choosing a variety, it is important to look not only at the pictures depicted on the seed bags, but also at the growing season. This affects how much root vegetables can be stored.

Varieties differ in early maturity:

1. Early and hybrids cannot lie for a long time, but these are excellent "bunch products". Miniature carrots look great in salad and in canning. Suitable varieties are Artek, Zabava F, Tushon.
2. Mid-season fruits are consumed until autumn. These are the varieties Chance, Moskovskaya, Nandrin.

What you need to remember

All vegetables, including carrots, have their own subtleties in growing. Root crops require regular watering. Do not allow the land to dry out or moisture stagnation - this will ruin the crop.

It is advisable to choose a sunny place. If you plant the carrots in the shade, the fruit will be less sweet. Sour, saline soil is not suitable for planting. You should not choose a loamy area, as rot will appear on the fruits.

Excess nitrogen leads to the growth of tops, root growth is slow. The imported species are considered to be more stable than the Russian ones.

It is also important to take into account the collection time: if it is carried out at a temperature of +8 degrees, the starch turns into sugar, which reduces the shelf life.
