Crisp radishes in under four weeks, real carrots in nine — pulled from deep pots of clean mix, straighter than the farmers’ market’s. Root crops grow their prize underground, invisible until the pull — the single most satisfying act in container gardening — and a pot of sifted mix is the rock-free soil gardeners spend decades building.
Vol. 12 of the Plot & Pantry series · Level 2 (Medium) — the level closer.
Inside the 32-page illustrated guide: the two-speed grow log (radish pull at week 4, carrot pull at week 9), the three root-crop laws (sifted mix, ruthless thinning, even moisture), carrot germination honestly explained, the pull technique and the tops-off rule, a built-in interactive Grow Journal, verified store links, troubleshooting (forked roots, all-tops-no-bulbs), six whole-plant recipes including carrot-top chimichurri, a printable cheat sheet, and honest FAQs.
