HOW TO GROW CARROTS Carrots are a cool-season root crop, and I personally get my best results growing them during the fall and winter. Here are a few things to keep in mind: • TEMPERATURE: Carrots grow best in cooler weather. Aim for approximately 60–70°F for good growth and root development. • SOIL: Loose, well-draining soil is important because carrots need room for the root to develop. I mixed sand into my existing raised-bed soil because it has been planted in many times and I wanted to loosen it up. Sand is NOT required if your soil is already loose and well-draining. • RAISED BEDS + CONTAINERS: Use raised-bed/garden soil in raised beds and a quality potting mix in containers. Avoid heavy or compacted soil, which can contribute to misshapen carrots. • DIRECT SOW + SPACING: Carrots are best direct sown about ¼ inch deep. If using loose seed, thin seedlings to approximately 2–3 inches apart, depending on the variety. Carrots need adequate spacing for the roots to properly develop. • GERMINATION: Keep the soil consistently moist while the seeds germinate. Carrot seeds can take up to 3 weeks to germinate. Some gardeners temporarily cover the row with cardboard, burlap or a board to help retain moisture. Check it daily and remove it once germination begins. • SEED TAPE: I used Hoss seed tape, which makes planting those tiny carrot seeds MUCH easier because the seeds are already spaced along the tape. 🔗 Seed Tape: http://mdsh.io/seedtape • FERTILIZER: For this planting, I added compost and True Organic Raised Bed Food when I planted. I personally did not need to fertilize again during the growing period. • HARVEST: Most full-size carrots are ready in approximately 55–75 days, but always check the days to maturity for the specific variety you’re growing. The biggest things I focus on with carrots are cool weather, loose soil, proper spacing and consistent moisture. 🥕 🔗to the course in my bio #GrowCarrots #VegetableGardening #FallGarden #creatorsearchinsights #growingyourownfood

Let me teach you how to successfully grow carrots like these. Carrots are a root crop and therefore they need a soil that's nice, light and airy to successfully grow in. So you're gonna mix in sand to your raised bed. Make sure the raised bed is either potting soil or raised bed mix, compost. Mix in this sand. I'm breaking mine up cause I've used this bed so many times. I wanna make sure the soil is not compacted. That's gonna help with the carrots successfully growing. Blend in some of the raised, which is a granular fertilizer from True Organic. All of that up. Soil is nice, light and fluffy. We're gonna have successful carrots. So we're gonna grab our carrot seeds and we're gonna be using seed tape. Carrot seeds are making it hard for them to handle and to get them to germinate. So seed tape is the option that I would recommend, especially if you had issues growing carrots in the past. From Hoss, and it's the rainbow carrot blend. Now, as you can see, the seeds are in between these two thin pieces of paper, making it really easy to handle them. So you're gonna make your trench for your carrots, and you don't follow the directions that they give you. And then you're seed tape down. It makes it super easy to handle those tiny, tiny carrot seeds, and it helps you have better germination. Lightly cover up that seed tape, and this is sow your carrot seeds. Water everything in really well. And I would companion plant. Select your companion plants based on the season you decide. Carrots are frost tolerant, grow them in the fall or early in the spring. Companion plant my carrots with garlic and also arugula, because I grew them late in the winter. I also put some other alternatives companion plant with on the screen based off when you grow your carrot. Pay attention to what the seed packet says, know how long for your carrot seeds to germinate. And it'll also when you can expect to be harvesting your carrots. Different varieties of carrots, to make sure you're paying attention to what the seed packet says, so you know exactly when your harvest will be ready. And if you're ready to learn how to grow your own food, I actually created a course just for you. It's called Grow Vegetable Gardening for Beginners. Now, I'll have the information for the course as well as the seed tape down below. Happy gardening.
