CARROT GERMINATION Tip: Keep seeds from drying out even in HOT WEATHER

Carrot seeds often take 10 days to germinate. It's tricky to keep them from drying out, especially when it's hot outside. I love using burlap to help carrot seeds germinate.

• The burlap holds in moisture, and the carrot seeds germinate under the burlap.

• When seedlings pop up, remove the burlap.

• Two weeks after the plants germinate, thin any carrots that touch each other. (Use scissors to cut off plants to be thinned rather than pulling them by hand.)⁣

• In another 2 weeks, thin carrots to 2 or 3 inches apart. Thinning the carrots ensures each carrot has enough room to reach mature size. ⁣
