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 Vermont
Vermont has a cool humid continental climate. Southern Vermont is Zone 5a-5b; northern Vermont is Zone 4a-4b. Short growing seasons are productive for cool crops, potatoes, and maple trees.
