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 Delaware
Delaware has a humid subtropical climate moderated by the Atlantic. Mild winters and warm summers support a long growing season for mid-Atlantic vegetables.
