Here we find the eventual harvest of the Purple Carrots alongside the Orange varieties I planted for reference. As you can see, the almost beet like appearance of the purple carrots combined with the overcrowded orange carrot clusters left me with a suboptimal yield.
Here's how we can improve our results for the next generation of carrots seed starts:
1) Properly loosen the soil before direct seeding + increase depth.
Carrots need ample room to grow. Make sure the soil is loose enough for the tap root to work its way straight down and not sideways.
2) Thin out carrot clusters.
As the carrot tops begin to sprout, make sure to pull some out to create space between heads...ideally 1-2" between, depending on variety.
3) Regulate nutrients.
One of the suggestions i've fielded regarding the Purple giants is that I may have over fertilized within too short a window. Will be adhering to a more specific fertilizing schedule and incorporate slow release options as opposed to just water soluble.
At least Halloween is in a few months in case these mutant carrots takeover again. To be continued...
You are viewing a close up cross section of the Purple Pole Bean. This beautiful juxtaposition of the rough and textured purple shell encapsulating luscious, vibrant green pods make this legume a stunning addition to your Summer culinary endeavours.
The Purple Pole Bean plant goes through many foliage stages, yet this one feels the most vibrant. Tiny pops of color began to present themselves at the stem junctions leading to these beautiful hues.
The flower will then transform itself into pods all while capturing its visceral beauty within the nutrient rich potential harvest.
This variety of Purple Pole Beans was the next standout crop I knew I wanted to plant. With Summer culinary applications in mind, these crisp, vibrant vegetables are sure to be the standout of the garden.
Carrots are a headache. I didn't know that at the time of this photo, but let's just say there are plenty of nuances to successfully growing a single carrot.
These were Black Nebula Carrot starters I grabbed from the local nursery. When mature, they grow dark purple roots with a touch of purplish hues coming through in the carrot tops.
One of the first Purple varieties of produce i've attempted in the Purple Garden are these Purple Bell Peppers. We had great results with our Green Bells last year so I thought this more exotic looking variety might be a perfect start.
The young pepper seen here features a bold pigment that will eventually mellow into a vibrant purplish hue as it grows to maturity.
