Anastasia is considered one of the undemanding varieties to care for. However, before considering agrotechnical recommendations, you should take care of the correct planting of the plant. The variety is grown mainly with seeds, sowing them in open ground.

Stages of preparation.

1. Seeds are taken first, leaving whole and large samples. It will be easier for them to settle down, and it will be easier for them to climb.

2. Next, the seeds are disinfected. To do this, use a solution of potassium permanganate, where the seeds are placed for 2-3 hours.

3. The third stage is treatment with stimulants. With their help, it is possible to accelerate the emergence of seedlings.

At the same time, they are preparing the site where the landing is planned. The soil is carefully fertilized, lowering the acidity index, and also loosened to saturate it with oxygen and nutrients.

The disembarkation is carried out according to the following scheme.

1. The distance between the rows of carrots should be up to 15 cm.

2. It is worth keeping up to 7 cm between the seeds.

3. Planting depth - 1-2 cm.

At the end, it remains to sprinkle the seeds with soil, water and cover for 1-2 weeks with transparent material to create a greenhouse effect. After that, you will only need to take care of the care of the grown culture.

Basic moments.

1. Watering. It is recommended to water carrots abundantly throughout the growing season. It is better to carry out the procedure in the morning or in the evening, so as not to burn the tops under the influence of direct sunlight during the day. During a drought, watering should be increased; in rains, you can stop altogether.

2. Top dressing. It is carried out at will. Mainly organic compounds are used as fertilizers, however, during the formation of root crops, preference is given to mineral complexes with phosphorus and potassium.

3. Loosening. It is carried out after each watering. With the help of this procedure, it will be possible to accelerate the flow of nutrients to root crops.

Additionally, it is recommended to weed the bed of carrots to prevent the spread of diseases or pests.

Anastasia's carrots are grown in fertile and light soils, which are recommended to be fertilized and loosened before planting. Additional recommendations for choosing a site:

• the soil should contain peat, sand;

• preference should be given to sunny and calm areas;

• the water table must be deep.

If the site is located in a lowland, which is characterized by the accumulation of water, it is worth taking care of the arrangement of the drainage system. Otherwise, there is a high probability of death of root crops.

Planting is best done in warm, sunny and calm weather, so as not to create additional stress to the seeds. Gardeners recommend waiting until the soil warms up to 8-10 degrees Celsius. This will reduce the risk of frost return and ensure good survival of the seed.

Anastasia has strong immunity and is practically not exposed to diseases and pests. However, with improper care and non-compliance with agrotechnical recommendations, there is a risk of deterioration of the plant's condition. To prevent the death of the culture and prevent the formation of bitter root crops, it is worth taking care of carrying out preventive treatments.

Strengthening the immune system is performed using special formulations, which can be bought at a gardening store. Before using the drugs, you should carefully study the instructions so as not to worsen the condition of the plant.

Gardeners speak about Anastasia's carrots mostly positively. The pluses of the variety include:

• high productivity;

• short ripening times;

• unpretentious care.

Additionally, they emit the juicy and sweet taste of root vegetables, which are formed by the culture.
