About Carrot
Carrots require loose deep stone-free soil to develop properly — worth the soil preparation.
Sow seeds directly — carrots hate transplanting. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart for good root development. Deep loose soil is essential; rocky or compacted soil produces forked roots.
Gardening in Connecticut
Connecticut has a humid continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. Four distinct seasons support a classic New England growing calendar.
