Topic: Mildew(?) on carrots

[caroline7758]

I pulled some carrots today and some of them have a sort of white powder on the root. It could just be something harmless in the soil, but I'm so pleased to have succeeded with carrots this year, I don't want to lose any. What do you think it is?

Do a search on Sclerotinia disease and check your carrots with pic's. Might be best not to eat the skins or store your crop, but check it out first.
