Carrots Are Every Plant's Best Friend (Except Celery)
Carrots are a great companion plant for pretty much everything, except for celery, and they grow well in random spots.
And when the carrots start popping up in unexpected places, they can be fondly called "chaos carrots."
The best part?
You can throw them around every couple of weeks to ensure a continuous harvest of carrots.
While this method may not work for everyone, it's worth a try if you're tired of being meticulous about sowing your carrots.
As @meggrowsplants says, "I used to be so meticulous about how I sowed carrots in my garden and they never worked. And I just started saying, whatever, chaos gardening. And I get really good carrots now."
So, embrace the chaos and try sprinkling your carrot seeds around your garden.
Who knows, you might end up with a bountiful harvest of "chaos carrots" too!
