Creating the Furrow:

Use the handle of a rake to draw a furrow, pressing it down multiple times to compact the bottom. Lightly water the furrow to help retain moisture.

Sowing Seeds:

Sow the seeds as sparsely as possible, though thinning will likely be necessary later. Some gardeners thin their carrots multiple times to provide ample space for growth.

Planting Depth and Spacing:

  • Sow carrots at a depth of 1–1.5 cm (approximately 0.4–0.6 inches)

  • Maintain row spacing of about 30 cm (approximately 12 inches)

Sunlight and Soil Requirements:

Carrots prefer sunny locations and are less demanding than parsley. A sandy-loam soil is ideal for their growth.
