How to Plant Carrots From Seed
Carrots can be planted from nursery-grown seedlings, but the more common method is to sow seeds directly into the garden as soon as the soil is workable in the spring.
But, carrot seeds are tiny making it difficult to plant them evenly.
They may take as long as three weeks to sprout.
1.Till the soil at least a foot deep to make sure it is light and loose and can drain extremely well.
2.Create shallow furrows in the soil (the long handle of a garden tool will do the job), 1/4 inch deep and one foot apart if you are sowing more than one row of carrots.
3.Sprinkle the tiny carrot seeds two to three inches apart, 1/4 inch deep, and cover lightly with soil.
It’s difficult to space carrot seeds evenly, so you will likely need to thin them out as they grow.
4.Write the crop name and date sown on a plastic row marker, paint stick, or popsicle stick to mark the location of your seeded row(s).
Marking the location of the rows helps you know where to water.
5.Press down lightly on the soil to ensure good contact between seeds and soil.
6.Keep furrows moist and don’t let the soil dry out because it will form a hard crust that is difficult for tiny seedlings to break through.
7.Give seedlings one inch of water per week.
8.When the seedlings are one to two inches tall, thin them then out to be three inches apart. Use tiny snips for this task so you don’t pull up nearby developing carrot roots.
