Carrots

 


Hi I am a newbie to this forum and I am also fairly new to growing my
own Veg.
Moved house a year ago to an acre Garden where I have now my
own veg plot with
raised beds. I am having trouble with Carrots getting
them to sprout from seed.
I have tried watering drill before put seed
down, I have tried putting the seed
in a drill then watering however
the little blighters dosen't want to grow. I
have also tried a couple
of different seed packets although to be fair one of
them was not this
years seed but a packet that had been used by my Dad. What am
I doing
wrong? Lettece is ok Radish is ok Beetroot is ok etc.

I have found that in my warm climate that I have the best luck if I
cover my carrot seeds checking carefully ever day at the edge to see
if sprouting has occurred. The best cover material for me are:
1.  Burlap - old fashioned potato sack material.
2.  If not burlap, about 4 thicknesses of newspaper

Keep either of these wet until seeds sprout. Either one will keep the
soil moist and the cover will keep the seeds from being disrupted
during watering.

Hope this works for you.
