Carrot Origin

Carrots are widely grown in my country, with the largest number of them planted in Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Yunnan and other provinces, so their harvest and market time are different.

Carrot planting time and key points

1. Planting time: Carrots are usually planted in February in spring or July in autumn. You need to observe the weather before planting. It is best to plant them on a sunny day.

2. Planting soil: Carrots are more suitable for planting in soil rich in organic matter and with good drainage. Sandy loam with relatively rich nutrients can be used for planting.

3. Sowing: Carrots need to be planted with full-grain, disease-free seeds. After sowing them in the soil, they need to be covered with an appropriate amount of fine soil and watered.
