Carrot seeds should be sown only when the soil has been warmed by the spring sun. To germinate reliably, they need light, sandy soil, well-raked to break down any lumps; if your garden has clay soil, you'll be much better off growing carrots in raised beds or containers.
Create a shallow trench about ¼ in (5 mm) deep, by laying down a cane and pushing it into the soil. Space rows 6 in (15 cm) apart and sow the seed thinly along the row; this avoids having to thin out seedlings later, which may attract carrot flies. Cover the seeds with soil; water through a rose.
Successive sowings in spring and summer will provide a continuous crop of roots through summer and fall. Choose early varieties for quick crops of small roots and main crops for larger carrots in late summer and fall.
