carrot help
« on: September 14, 2010, 22:23 »
Pulled some of my carrots tonight and noticed there was some white lines round them on a few. looked like more of a fungus type thing that brushed easily off.

Sorry for the terrible discription, anyone know what this is?
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

I know little about Sclerotina but if it's fungus in origin is storing in hessian bags going to make matters worse if the spores are present on the roots?

Maybe lifting, washing, peeling and blanching before freezing would prevent the fungus developing.

In hessian any dampness could lead to further development...

Just a thought  :mellow:
