About Wenwei Jia Expertise I have been working on Horticulture research and extension for over 30 years. Specially I am familiar with Oriental Vegetables and Greehouse technique. Since 1997 I got serious disease so that I can not work any more.
Experience i was graduated from Beijing Agricultureal University in 1968. Worked in Inner-Mongolia for 11 years as an extension specialist in Horticulture area. From 1979 till 1990 I worked at the Institute of Vegetables and Flowers, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. During this period I was in Canada to study Hydroponic and greenhouse technology and physiology.
I was invited by the Royal Horticulture Society to visit England in 1986, I also visited Holland, America and Canada from 1987-1989.
Since 1990 I came to America, I was working at the University of Kentucky for over 9 years. I was disabled from 1998 till now. I am glad that I can use my knowledge to help people.
Question I have cut the tops off of some carrots and trimmed the greens. I now have new grren shoots about 6" long. Right now I just have them sitting in water but what is next. I would like to grow new carrots from these but I am not sure what to do. Do I just plant it, the carrot top and all, or do I separatr the greens from the carrot and just plant the greens?
Thank you for your help.
Answer Dear Valerie:
Did you see any roots grow from these cuts? If not, that is the reason you can not grow them only from the shoots.
You got to buy some seeds to grow carrot. If you want to find out where to buy seeds, go to the internet and search vegetable seeds.
