My problem with carrots is a result of three factors : #1 The requirement to sow those small seeds only about 1/4-1/2 of an inch deep #2 The nearly 3 weeks waiting for emergence #3 The chance of dry conditions locally If there is one crop requiring hand watering, it’s carrots. Don’t say to...

That wikihow is very comprehensive! This climate is semi-arid. It is very easy to dry herbs by hanging them under the outdoor deck roof. Sometimes, they need a little more time spread out on paper towels in the kitchen. I can imagine the scent if I used our dehydrator. It would have to be...
