Because carrots are too delicate for this soil and these climate conditions.
I have never successfully grown carrots. 😟
These radishes, however, break open the toughest soil, don't get chewed on much by insects and tolerated the dry conditions this year... I'd say they thrived in it; they are extra spicy.
They taste great as a garnish for salmon. Maybe even Tafelspitz.
...but I only need a teaspoon of grated radish for that...
Zuchini dies from cold nights. Happened to me.
Other than that it is easy to grow and -as long as the soil is rich- typically yields really well. I prefer pumkin; it's the same family of plants, just that pumkins store much longer, require even less care.
Zuchini is a girl veggie.
Carrots are for pros.
Real men grow potatos, pumkin, corn... and radish.
I want calories and... something so manly, that even I can't eat it. 😎
