Where do carrot seeds come from?

How do carrot seeds come from?

Carrot seeds grow inside the fruit. Only carrots that have been successfully pollinated can bear fruit, and the seeds grow inside it. When the fruit is ripe, the seeds are also ripe.

After harvesting, carrot seeds can be stored in a cold storage room. The life of refrigerated carrot seeds can be as long as 3-5 years, and the germination rate is higher than that stored at room temperature.

What do carrot seeds look like?

The particles of carrot seeds are relatively small, a bit similar in size to red beans, oval in shape, and with a layer of leathery membrane on the surface. It is relatively difficult for the seeds to germinate, and their ability to break through the soil is weak.

How to plant carrot seeds

Carrot seeds can be sown in spring and autumn, with the best sowing period being around early to mid-May. They will be available on the market around October and grow very quickly.

1. Select seeds: Select the variety of carrot seeds before sowing, and choose seeds with full grains, no pests and diseases, and strong disease resistance.

2. Choose soil: When sowing carrots, it is best to choose loose, breathable, humus-rich soil. Pay attention to controlling the row spacing and spacing when sowing.

3. Sowing: Sprinkle carrot seeds evenly on the surface of the soil, then cover them with an appropriate amount of fine soil, and then water them until all the soil is soaked.
