I planted my carrots next to my raddishes that are hot. Will my carrots be hot too?
Question:
Answers:
No that carrots and radishes are two different crops, they wont affect one another.
No, unless you have a hot variety of carrots. The radish cannot infect the carrot with its sharpness. That is inbred in the radish. Carrots are naturally sweet, and do not adapt their flavour to that of their neighbour in the garden bed.
No.
No. One wonders how this association could be made. It's gonna be a long row to hoe...
No. they are different in every way. The seed you Planted is the only type of plant you will get. The hot is in the seed , its as its mother plant is.
I mix my plants all the time . like radishes and carrots because the radish plants are finished and out of the garden before the carrots even start to get big this way in makes more room for the carrots, (remove all old radishes , don't let them go to seed.)
No. And your radishes will not be orange either.
No.
the only way a plant can "take" another plant feature naturally is by cross-pollination (which is done by insects, wind and men). For the pollen to influence the other plant both plants must be closely related (same genera or same species and different variety). Carrots and radish - different genera, different family. And further more...cross-pollination only changes the fruit features, not the root. Ex.: Hot peppers and sweet peppers do cross-pollinate if planted close and some sweet peppers will be hot, and some hot peppers will be less hot.
