Carrots (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) are one of the most popular and widely grown root vegetables worldwide. Known for their sweet, crisp texture and high nutritional value. They are rich in beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), fiber, and antioxidants, making them a healthy addition to any diet. Carrots are an easy-to-grow, nutritious root vegetable that thrives in cool temperatures and loose, well-drained soil. Whether started from seeds in early spring or late summer, they require consistent watering, thinning, gardeners can enjoy a continuous harvest of fresh, sweet carrots throughout the growing season.

When to Plant

  • Spring Crop: Sow seeds 2-3 weeks before the last expected frost.
  • Fall Crop: Plant seeds 8-10 weeks before the first expected frost.
  • Succession Planting: Sow seeds every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest.

Preparing the Planting Site

  1. Choose a sunny, well-drained location.
  2. Loosen the soil 12 inches deep to allow for unobstructed root growth.
  3. Remove rocks and debris to prevent root deformities.
  4. Add compost or aged manure, avoiding high nitrogen content.

Sowing Seeds

  1. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in rows 12-18 inches apart.
  2. Space seeds ½ inch apart, as they can be thinned later.
  3. Cover lightly with fine soil or sand and water gently.
  4. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged until germination.
  5. Seeds will germinate in 10-21 days, depending on temperature.

Thinning Seedlings

  • Once seedlings reach 2 inches tall, thin them to 2 inches apart.
  • Crowded carrots will develop small or twisted roots.

Pro Tip

Carrots need loose, well-draining soil—rocks and compacted dirt can cause misshapen roots. Keep the soil consistently moist for even germination, and thin seedlings early to give each carrot room to grow.

Bonus: A light frost makes them sweeter, so don’t rush to harvest in the fall!

Getting to know your Carrot

Carrots are cool-season root vegetables known for their sweet, crunchy texture. They grow best in loose, sandy soil to allow for straight root development. Carrots come in various colors, including orange, purple, yellow, and white. They take 60-80 days to mature and require consistent moisture to prevent cracking. Rich in beta-carotene, carrots are used in salads, soups, and juices. They are susceptible to carrot flies and nematodes but benefit from companion planting with onions.
