Gardener’s Notes: Sow seeds directly into well-drained soil in spring when soil can be worked. Sprinkle seeds evenly, about 1/2 to 1 inch apart. Carrot seeds are slow to germinate – keep soil evenly moist. Thin 2 inch tall seedlings to stand about 2 inches apart so roots have room to grow. Sow every 3 weeks until early summer for continuous supply. For easier harvest, moisten soil. In mild climates, plant another crop in late summer.
