Welcome to our video series Homegrown, Homemade. We've teamed up with Fine Gardening to show gardeners and cooks of all skill levels how get the most out of their crops from seed to plate.

In this series with Fine Gardening's Danielle Sherry, Danielle shows me how to grow and harvest carrots. In my garden, I've been plagued with short, stumpy, gnarly specimens. Danielle shows me how to grow sweet, crunchy, more uniform carrots, the kind I'd actually like to cook with. Then, we move into the kitchen, where I share some favorite recipes and show Danielle how to make the most of homegrown carrots.

Episode One: How to Plant Carrots
Danielle shows me how to properly space out the carrot seeds when planting, mixing them with (of all things) radish seeds.

Episode One: How to Plant Carrots		Episode Two: How to Care for Carrots		Episode Three: How to Harvest Carrots

Episode Four: How to Preserve and Store Carrots		Recipe: Maple Pan-Roasted Baby Carrots
