- Timing: Sow carrot seeds directly into the garden in early spring or late summer. Carrots thrive in cooler temperatures.
- Soil: Choose loose, well-draining soil free from rocks or obstacles that may hinder root growth. Remove debris and ensure the soil is fine-textured.
- Planting: Plant seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart. Thin seedlings to 2-4 inches apart to allow room for root development.
- Sunlight: Carrots prefer full sun exposure. Ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily for optimal growth.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply to encourage deeper root growth.
- Thinning: Once seedlings emerge, thin them to the recommended spacing to avoid overcrowding and promote healthy root growth.
- Fertilization: Avoid excess nitrogen, as it can cause forking or branching of roots. Opt for a balanced fertilizer if needed.
- Harvesting: Carrots are typically ready for harvest 60-80 days after planting. Gently pull them from the soil when they reach the desired size and color.
