Carrots are planted 4 to 6 weeks before the anticipated last spring freeze. Broadcast seeds in a wide bed or plant in rows. Plant seeds thickly and very shallow, generally not more than 1/4 inch deep. Since carrot seeds sprout slowly, it may be necessary to water two or three times to get them up. Poor stands often are owing to poorly prepared seedbeds or crusty soil, which inhibits emergence.
After the carrots are up and growing, thin to 1 or 2 inch spacing. Water them regularly, especially after they reach the size of a pencil. Moisture fluctuations cause carrots to crack, be of poor quality, and sometimes rot. Keep cultivation to a minimum and use only to control weeds. Depending on variety, it generally takes 2 1/2 to 3 months for most carrots to mature. Carrots are best when harvested small, not more than an inch in diameter at the crown. |
