What is the best season for planting carrots?

Carrot planting time

Carrots are generally planted in summer and autumn. In summer, they are usually sown in mid-to-late March to early April, while in autumn, they are sown in mid-to-late July. When sowing, it must not be too early or too late, otherwise the seeds will not germinate.

How to grow carrots

1. Seed selection and germination: The day before sowing, carrot seeds need to be soaked in 37-degree warm water for about 12-16 hours, then taken out and dried, and then mixed with dry sand before sowing.

2. Sowing: When sowing carrots, you can use direct sowing or row sowing. After sowing, you need to cover a layer of soil and harrow the ground 2-3 times to make the surface level, and then spray some herbicides.

3. Post-sowing maintenance: Carrots will sprout about 10 days after sowing. Generally, weeds will emerge earlier than seedlings, so it is necessary to spray herbicides in advance and then water them to keep the soil moist.

Carrot planting precautions

When caring for carrots, you need to pay attention to good fertilizer and water management, especially in the seedling stage, you need to water them in time to keep the soil moist, and apply topdressing according to the growth situation to ensure that they have sufficient nutrients for growth and development.
