Growing carrots from seeds is a rewarding and straightforward process that allows you to enjoy fresh homegrown produce. To start choose a well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Carrots thrive in loose sandy soil that allows them to develop straight and unobstructed roots.Begin by sowing carrot seeds directly into the garden bed or container ensuring a spacing of about 2 inches between seeds. Plant the seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep and cover them with a light layer of soil. Water the area gently to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.Carrot seeds typically germinate within 14 to 21 days depending on soil temperature and conditions. Once the seedlings reach a height of 2 inches thin them to provide adequate space for each carrot to develop. Aim for a final spacing of 2 to 4 inches between carrot plants.
