Cofina carrot
  • I said it. Once on a radio show, I said that carrot (Daucus carota) was a cocophin. It made a friend sound; one more distant remembers me every time he sees me.

The nozzle is a kind of carrot, cane, pastan, seasoned, pakistani, pastane, or carrot. The choker, the palate, the white -- that is, very thin. In the orchard, it's not one of the easiest vegetables to prepare, and many people find it impossible. It is sown in the spring and summer of the calendar, and as we are in the middle of them right now, we animate and we breathe and sow! The one that is now planted will enjoy the end of the summer and the fall. If left, winter too. Carrots are born and sown in the place where they will live their entire lives. It will not develop or flourish until the next spring and you will be able to eat during that time. Yes, it's possible, but the younger it is, the more tender, the choline carrot for the palate. Don't leave it too big if you don't want to win the record. To do this you have to work a lot: open the hole with a lever, put that mixture of soil that is used for pots and sow some variety that makes a lot of vein, sow two or three seeds and clear them leaving the best. The record for the heaviest is Christopher Qualley, from Otsego, in Minnesota, United States. In 2017 he created one of 10.17 kilos. The longest was measured in the English Malverte Championship, guarded by Joe Atherton, which measured 6,245 meters. We don't want that in our house, right? Not everybody else's. These small, sweet, simple, are more beautiful to cultivate and consume them visually.

It is best to obtain a variety that is right here; three are offered by the Aleka association, dedicated to the ecological seeds of the Basque Country: Colmar, Nantesa and Morada. Enough to start.

Choosing a sponge soil for the carrot, which is not cleared, with a neutral pH (without clays or wolves, says the fine peak) and which occupies as many hours of sunshine as possible. Mix some ash to the ground. It also has little mausing or sand.

Keep the seeds soaked during the day, preferably rainwater or tap water. It will germinate much earlier in the soil. Drain and mix with soil, clay, or fine sand until they are powdered seeds. We will sow uncleaned in this way, up to a maximum of one centimeter buried. They can spread to the purse or, if they wish, in rows. In case of puncture do not throw too much. In any case, to avoid later diseases and ensure growth, the department needs to be cleared or reviewed. Therefore sow in rows, leaving 10-12 cm from side to side and 8 cm from seed to seed. This reduces the work of curling, but initially it forces to remove the intermediary herbs. It condemns, since it is an initial work, that when the carrot mastra grows it takes them underneath, in the dark and prevents them from growing. Keep the soil moist at least until germination. The main enemy of the carrot is a fly (Psila rosae). The worms that are generated from the eggs that he lays on him, eat the carrot back and leave stained with dirt. To prevent the fly from approaching, place the leek (Allium porrum) or onion (Allium cepa). The carrot will also help them by rubbing the chickens (Acrolepiopsis assectella) produced by the enemy worms.

Make carrots in the pot or on the balcony or in the orchard. We taste the difference between the industrial carrot and the house carrot so that we can also copulate, the wolf.
