How to harvest :

When the tops are thick and leafy, gently loosen the soil and pull upward.
If one looks ready, the others are close behind.


Helpful tip :
Do not disturb the soil after planting. Carrots grow best when the soil stays loose and undisturbed.

Tomatoes need strong light to grow sturdy stems and healthy fruit.
