Plant them in early spring (2-3 weeks before the last frost) or in late summer for a fall harvest.Temperature: Soil temperatures between 55°F and 75°F (13°C - 24°C) are ideal.2. Preparing the Soil (Crucial Step!)Loose & Loamy: Carrots need loose, rock-free soil to grow straight. Tilling the soil deeply (8-10 inches) and removing stones or clumps is the secret to perfect carrots.Compost: Mix in organic compost to improve drainage and nutrients.3. Sowing the SeedsDepth: Sow seeds shallowly, about 1/4 inch deep.Spacing: Sprinkle seeds thinly in rows spaced 12 inches apart.Cover: Lightly dust soil over the seeds. Do not pack the soil down hard.4. Watering & GerminationKeep Moist: This is the most important part! Carrot seeds are tiny and can dry out easily. Keep the soil surface consistently moist (not soggy) for 1-3 weeks until they sprout.Patience: Carrots can be slow to germinate, taking anywhere from 7 to 21 days. Don't give up!5. Thinning (Don't Skip This!)Once the seedlings are about 2 inches tall, you must "thin" them. Remove extra seedlings so the remaining carrots are spaced 2-3 inches apart. This gives them room to grow thick and strong.🥕 HarvestingTiming: Most varieties are ready in 70-80 days.Check Size: The tops of the carrot roots will often poke out of the soil. If the diameter looks good (about 1 inch), they are ready!Loosen First: Gently loosen the soil around the root with a garden fork before pulling to prevent the carrot from snapping.📊 Quick SpecsFeatureDetailsSunlightFull Sun (6+ hours a day)Days to Maturity70 - 80 DaysPlanting Depth1/4 inchSeed Spacing2-3 inches (after thinning)Container Friendly?Yes (must be at least 12" deep)
