I am trying to grow carrots from seed. how can i be successful?

Question

I have tried to grow them in jiffy pellettes, in the soil directly but never had any success. I hear every one say they are easy to grow. I live in southern California. any tips will help.

Answer 1

In the spring after the danger of frost is gone, work the ground up very well until it is free of clumps. Sprinkle the carrot seed in a line and cover very thinly with fine dirt. Sprinkle dirt gently over the top but don't pat it down. Water with a fine spray. They will grow!
