    Growing Carrots from Seed

  • Direct sow from just after the last frost date to late summer for harvests from summer through early winter.
  • Optimal soil temperature: 7-30°C (45-85°F). Seeds may take as long as 14-21 days to germinate.
  • Because carrot seeds are tiny, they need to be sown shallowly. The trick is to keep the top-most layer of soil damp during the relatively long germination period. Water deeply prior to planting.
  • Make sure the seeds are only just buried. Water the area with the gentlest stream possible, and keep it constantly moist until the seeds sprout.


    Companion Planting For Carrots

  • Plant with bean seeds, Brassicas, chives, leeks, lettuce, onions, peas, peppers, pole beans, radish, rosemary, sage, and tomatoes.
  • Avoid planting with dill, parsnips, and potatoes.
  • Carrots planted near tomatoes may have stunted roots, but will have exceptional flavour. Chives also benefit carrots.
