Growing Notes Carrot seeds are tiny! They take 2-3 weeks to germinate and you need to keep them moist and clear from weed competition. It’s a bit tricky!
Battle of the BugsCarrots seem to be pretty hardy once they get past the germination and early growth stage.
Fun FactCarrots are “biennial” which means they don’t produce seeds until the second year. That’s a long time to wait to collect seeds!
Don’t Waste It!Carrots are too delicious to waste! Eat them raw or cooked. Don’t forget the greens…they are edible too!
