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 Utah
Utah has an arid continental climate. Salt Lake City is Zone 6b-7a; southern Utah is Zone 7-8; mountains are Zone 4-5. Low humidity and alkaline soils require irrigation and soil amendment.
