Planting instructions:
Heat treatment is used to prepare carrot seeds for sowing. To do this, the seeds are placed in a gauze bag and immersed in water with a temperature of 120 ℉. After such an immersion, the seeds are immediately cooled with cold water and dried to a free-flowing state.
Plan to plant seeds outdoors 3 to 5 weeks before the last spring frost date. Tip: Plant additional seeds every 3 weeks or so for multiple harvests. Plant carrot seeds 3 to 4 inches apart in rows. Rows should be at least a foot apart. Carrots are slow to germinate. They may take 3 or more weeks to show any signs of life, so don’t panic if your carrots don’t appear right away! Keep the soil moist, not wet, but don’t let it dry out, either. Carrots are best grown in full sunlight, but can tolerate a moderate amount of shade. One of the most important things to consider when growing carrots (and other root vegetables) is the condition of your soil. Make sure your soil is free of stones. Stones obstruct the path of carrot roots, which can result in a stunted and misshapen crop. Till your soil before planting. Carrots need deeply-tilled, loose soil that they can easily push through. Carrots grow best in sandy or loamy soil, so supplement your soil as necessary. Once plants are an inch tall, thin so that they stand 3 inches apart. Water at least one inch per week.
