Gardener’s Notes: Sow seed directly in the garden in spring. Carrots need light, well-drained sandy soil. Sprinkle seeds evenly in the row, about 3-4 per inch. Keep soil moist during germination and growth. Thin young seedlings. Sow every 2-3 weeks until early summer for continuous supply. Harvest when rounded orange tops appear. For easier harvest, moisten soil. In mild climates, plant again in fall and winter.
