In contrast to other plants with a pronounced root system, carrots cannot be overwintered as a plant in our latitudes. You should harvest all carrots before the first ground frost so that they are not damaged by the frost and become rotten.
Storage in the sandbox
For the next carrot growing season, the carrot seeds must be harvested and the carrots must be sown again in the spring. On the other hand, storing carrots over the winter in the sense of storage only requires storage in sand. To do this, the green of the plant is first cut off to prevent it from drying out. Then the carrots are covered with sand in a box and stored in a cellar room that is as cold as possible but frost-free with high humidity.
