This root vegetable is difficult to transplant, so sow carrot seeds directly into your garden about 3 to 4 weeks before the last spring frost … or as soon as soil can be worked. Carrots tolerate light frosts, and once established can often overwinter in garden soil.

Carrots prefer full sun, but tolerate light shade. Plant carrots in light, fluffy soil that isn’t too rich. Avoid adding too much nitrogen. The optimum pH level for the soil is 6.0 to 6.5. If your soil is too acidic, add lime.

As the seeds are tiny, they can be hard to handle. Consider making a seed tape. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and 1/2 inch apart. Carrot seeds can be slow to germinate, so be patient. Keep soil moist while seeds are germinating.

Thin new carrots as they start to pop up, so they are spaced 2 to 4 inches apart. Toss carrots you’ve thinned from the garden into your salads.

For multiple harvests throughout the growing season, sow seeds every couple weeks until midsummer. Good companion plants for carrots are alliums (e.g., onions, garlic, leeks) and tomatoes.
