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.

Washington has dramatically different climates. The wet maritime west (Zone 8a-8b) is mild and productive year-round. Eastern Washington is semi-arid and colder (Zone 5-6) with hot dry summers.
