March tips for your Peninsula garden: Soil prep, frost damage and growing carrots in heavy clay
Now is a good time to plant carrots. Carrots thrive in cool weather and can be planted before the final frost of spring. Early planting leads to sweeter, crisper harvests. If you have a light, fluffy soil, perhaps in a raised bed, you can grow those long beautiful carrots you see in the grocery store. Most of us on the Peninsula, however, have heavy clay soil, so it is best to grow the shorter varieties if you plant them in the ground.
