It’s my understanding that a bunch of root vegetables like carrots, daikons, turnips, parsnips, rutabagas, etc. all grow their first year to store energy for the second years seeding.
Parsnips and turnips/rutabaga iirc say to harvest after a frost or two to sweeten them up, so I missed a bunch.
Right, I probably didn’t phrase it right, but the first years growing is all storing sugars for the second years flowering and then seeding yeah?
Container depth shouldn’t matter for that?
Yes you are correct. Though a larger container will give a larger root and thus larger seed head.
Makes sense, these were just too densely planted and never thinned, they were hiding in my sunflowers as a companion crop.
Thought I had some serious deweeding to start, but I just cut them with the hoe and it should be fine to top up and plant on top.
Great for the soil biome.
