When and how to plant carrots

Carrot planting time

Carrots are generally planted in summer and autumn. Summer carrots are usually planted in late March and early April, while autumn carrots are sown in mid-to-late July. The temperature in these two time periods is more suitable for plant growth.

How to grow carrots

1. Soak and germinate: Carrot seeds need to be soaked and germinated before sowing, so that they can germinate better. Soak them in warm water for 12 hours, and then place them in an environment with a temperature of 25 degrees for germination.

2. Choose soil: When planting carrots, suitable soil is needed, preferably loose, fertile, and well-drained sandy loam. After choosing the right soil, deep plowing is required.

3. Planting: When planting carrot seeds, you can evenly spread them on the surface of the soil and water them appropriately, so that they will germinate after a few days.

Carrot planting precautions

1. When the carrot seedlings grow to 3-4 true leaves, you can apply fertilizer. After fertilizing, you need to water them appropriately, which is more beneficial to their growth.

2. When caring for carrots, it is best to place them in a place with relatively low temperature and sufficient sunlight.
