When and how to plant carrots

Carrot planting time

Carrots are generally planted in June and July in summer because they prefer a warm growing environment, and the summer climate is more suitable for their growth. Therefore, planting them at this time is more beneficial for germination and can also allow them to grow well.

How to grow carrots

1. Site selection and land preparation: First of all, you must choose a suitable planting site for carrots. Avoid planting in low-lying areas with a lot of water. It is best to plant in high-lying, dry, well-drained sandy soil. Deep plowing is required before planting to keep the bed surface flat.

2. Planting method: When sowing carrots, hole sowing and broadcast sowing are generally used. The seeds are evenly sown on the surface of the soil. After sowing, the soil needs to be covered and kept moist.

3. Maintenance and management: After the carrots emerge, they need to be thinned out and fixed in time. After that, they need to be cultivated and weeded, and water and fertilizer management must be done well.

Carrot planting precautions

When watering carrots, you need to be careful and make sure to water them in moderation. Although they have a high demand for water, they are not tolerant to waterlogging. Therefore, if waterlogging occurs, it will have a greater impact on their growth. During maintenance, you also need to fertilize them according to their growth conditions.
