Placed six seeds from Baker Creek in a knockoff pod, and then placed it in a glass of water. No nutes added yet. Carrots are tricky to grow normally, but I've decided to take on the challenge of growing them in an AeroGarden for my AG Root Vegetable Project. Maybe this will work out, maybe it won't, but it's worth a try. |

Four seedlings came up, so I thinned it down to one. I will need to get a Sprout set up soon so that I can put it there.  |

Moved this into a Sprout and added 4ml of nutes!  |

But how will you get it out??? I'll leave that as a problem for the future me. Maybe I can keep lifting the sponge up until the entire carrot is forming above the pod  |

I think you should cut the very bottom of the cage off now and mabye just secure thel cage legs with a rubber band. What was the days to matureity on that one you have growing? I have some Napoli F1 55 Days to matureity I can mail you if intersted? The 100+ days just take forever..
PM me you address and I can mail you some, just bought new stock for the comming season.

I appreciate the offer, but I am not a huge fan of carrots and I decided to grow this one since the seeds were included free with the rest of my order from Baker Creek It looks like this one is 60-75 days to maturity, but if I notice it risking any damage to the AG or the pod, then I'll harvest it early as a baby carrot. |

I appreciate the offer, but I am not a huge fan of carrots I was not either till I found out you have to plant them in mid/late summer and harvest after a couple of heavy frosts have hit them. Then they are sweeter than baby carrots even as massive as that thing we pulled in 2020 I posted above.. Took a long time to get frost, that was pulled Dec 12 2020 (SouthEast PA) and was one of those early version left in way way to longer |

I lifted the sponge out of the pod a bit after I took this picture:  |

ERR0R1755, the photo files are too large for me to load on my mobile connection.

ERR0R1755, the photo files are too large for me to load on my mobile connection. Sorry - I will see if I can shrink them for future posts. There does not seem to be an easy way to do it without shrinking them manually on my computer, but here is a shrunk version of the image from my post above:  |

Sher and ERR0R1755, I am not sure why it does that with Mobile. I already have the pics shrink to 600px x 800px. I guess it is not Mobile friendly. I will see if there is anything I can do behind the scenes for Mobile viewing

Shawn, the display size is the right size. But when a huge file is uploaded, it takes as long to download as if the huge picture was being displayed, even though we just see the smaller file. The only way to stop it would be to limit file upload size, say to 1 megabyte. But that would prevent people who didn't know how to reduce file size from uploading their pictures, which might discourage them from posting. So, if the file deesn't load for me, it's my problem. I have a free photo editor app on my phone that lets me crop and resize.
