10 TIPS ON HOW TO GROW CARROT
1. To produce the best crop possible, double-dig your planting area or build up a raised bed.
2. Start sowing this cool-weather crop 3 weeks before the last expected frost (most cultivars take 70 to 80 days to mature).
3. Rake the soil free of lumps and stones. Broadcast the tiny seeds, or for easier weeding, plant in rows (they germinate more slowly in cold soil than in warm).
4. Cover with ¼ to ½ inch of screened compost, potting mix, or sand.
5. Water gently to avoid washing seeds away; keep the soil continuously moist for best germination.
6. Thin to 1 inch apart when the tops are 2 inches high, and be thorough, because crowded carrots will produce crooked roots.
7. The biggest threats to carrots are four-footed critters.
8. Infestations usually occur in the early spring, so one solution is to delay planting until early summer, when damage is less likely.
9. Parsleyworms are green caterpillars with black stripes, white or yellow dots, and little orange horns. They feed on carrot foliage, but they are the larval stage of black swallowtail butterflies, so if you spot them on your carrots, try not to kill them.
10. Carrots become tastier as they grow. You can start harvesting as soon as the carrots are big enough to eat, or leave them all to mature for a single harvest.
