I planted carrot seeds. I NEVER have luck with carrots. They just don't come up. I spent a lot of time preparing the row, and watered carefully. Maybe....maybe....this time.
They're really tiny seeds and they need fine soil. Weeds are a problem,I've never had all that much luck either. I planted them in pots in my green house and I just transplanted them to outside today we'll see.
Yeah, I worked on the soil a lot. Added sand. Compost. Dug a deep trench. Laid the seed out carefully along it. Then watered Sunday. Watered today with a watering can, so the watering is complete but gentle. I know you have to keep 'em wet. We don't seem that different latidudally than England where they grow tons of carrots. We are a bit more southerly. Hmmmm.
