Do root vegetables regrow themselves, and if so, how?

389 views

I mean, don’t you take the whole root out of the ground when you harvest, for example, a carrot? Do you have to replant every single carrot you harvest?

The whole plant is harvested so yes, a new one needs to be planted if you want more. If you put a carrot from the store back in the ground though, it will actually start to grow again. Same with potatoes, onions, and even above ground plants like lettuce. If you let them grow long enough they’ll eventually flower and produce seeds too, so you can grow more.
