DIY milk bottle Carrots

Carrot in DIY milk bottles

Progress of 3 baby carrots in DIY milk bottles. Last time I grew carrot in DIY milk bottles, it was a success. The carrot was shaped well as there was no competition with neighbour plants, stick to one milk bottle, one carrot.

Progress of Carrot batch #2

Sweet Alien Carrots!

Today I harvested all my carrots. I am truly surprised by their shapes and sizes. Definitely too small. This batch was grown in a small pot in using herb and veggie soil pot. They get plenty of sunlight and water. I believe the small size is due to too much competition in the same pot. As a consolation, they taste great though.

Carrot Seedlings

(2 days old seedlings)

Tall seedlings grown after just 2 days inside the milk-jug pot. The 2-day old seedlings are as tall as my 2 weeks old seedlings, all thanks to a good bag of vegetable and herb pot mix.

(3 weeks old seedlings)

I'd recommend this pot mix to anyone wanting to grow vegetables.

Happy Carrot Seedlings

2 days old after going into the pot.

Germinated Carrot seeds

• Carrot seeds finally germinated after 2 weeks inside a mini greenhouse. The seedlings have been transplanted to yet another DIY self-watering container + greenhouse using milk bottles. I did kill 3 seedlings during transplanting.

Cutting up 2 x 2L milk bottles I made a self watering container + greenhouse for the seedling.

It was very hot few days ago, I thought my spring onion is dying as the leaves are wilting, amazing I found a few new long leaves in there.

The baby lettuce is not so baby anymore. The leaves are a darker shade of green, however, I did some smaller leaves dying on the bottom.
