Carrot Planting Information: Carrots prefer cool, wet weather to grow in. Plant the seeds directly in the garden where the soil is finely tilled. Wet the soil before planting. Planting should take place 25 days before the last frost, or in late summer and autumn for winter and spring crops. You can have several succession plantings up until midsummer when it is too hot to grow carrots. Plants grow 12" tall. |
