How to Grow Growing carrots produces the best results in cooler areas, but they can grow in most climates. Carrots can grow in partial shade, but prefer full sun. Deeply dug sandy garden beds enriched with compost are best for growing carrots. (If using manure in your garden, make sure it is well rotted (not fresh)). Grow carrots in deep, loose soil to give them the most room to grow. Carrot roots grow deep, smooth, and without blemishes in sandy or loamy garden soils. Carrots are not particular about having a precise a pH (5.5 to 7.0). (see - how to test soil pH.) However, good drainage is important when growing carrots. Keep your carrot garden weed free, but be careful to not disturb the carrot's roots. Planting Carrot seeds can take up to 3 weeks to germinate. Sow the carrot seeds directly in the soil, in the spring as soon as you?re able to work the garden soil. Prepare garden furrows 10? apart and sow seeds OE? deep. Cover with seed starting mix and water lightly. Water lightly daily until the seedling emerge. When the seedlings grow to 2? high, thin to 1 inch apart. When the remaining seedlings grow to 6? tall, thin out again to 2? apart. Watering During the first 8 weeks of the growing season, only small amounts of water are needed (this forces the roots to grow deeper). Water heavily only if soil dries out as the crop matures. (Too much water makes the roots crack.) Harvest You can harvest carrots whenever you wish, based on the size you prefer. Growing carrots takes approximately 4 months, depending upon the variety. Harvest when the soil is moist (this prevents the roots from snapping). Use a garden fork to lift the carrots gently out of the ground. ******************************************************************** Follow as on Instagram : darkwingsshop Like as on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/darkwingstheshop Take a look at our new shop : https://www.etsy.com/shop/darkwingsshop ********************************************************************* All seeds in my shop are from my organic garden here in Greece. * I give a lot of time and effort to keep you all satisfied so PLEASE READ THE SHOP POLICIES before you purchase something from my shop.
