Easiest Carrot Germination!

Carrot germination can be difficult in the garden but with these tips it's easy!

That's crazy. I let my carrots go to flower one year, and I've had wild carrots every year since.

Once established, don’t over watered! Let’s the roots drive down deep looking for moisture for longer straighter carrots!

It's nice for Jacque to confirm something I learned through trial and error. Worth noting, once carrots are established, they actually don't love a lot of water.

Thank you!

Also, thank you for not blasting text over the top of this short video.

WoW!! All the videos watched no one mentioned making sure they didn’t dry out. Thank you!

Whoa. So good. Last year a weed that looks just like a carrot that I’ve never seen before in my yard grew right where I planted all my carrots. I treated it with love all summer long and then realized it was a weed, not a carrot. Only got q few carrots. This is SUPER HELPFUL INFO!!

Now I finally understand why it's so hard to germinate carrot seeds! Thank you for this video.

Thank you I have had trouble with germination in the past living a real hot dry climate

I live on Vancouver Island I had all but given up on carrots, can never get them started. After seeing this video, I decided to try again. Followed your instructions to the letter and I now have many, many baby carrot sprouts. So excited to watch them grow and for my girls to harvest their favourite veggie. Thank you so much for the hot tip.

Tip: mix the seeds up with dry sand to make seed distribution more even when poured into the grooves in the ground.

Loving the enthusiasm. Not sure how you showed up on my feed, but welcome.

Have yourself a thumbs up.

Cheers!

Great timing with this information. I’m gathering information on how to grow carrots this year.

[rockyusa]

Great tip with the cardboard. I'll try that. Thanks Jacques.

I swear you are in my head!!! thank you for this!

[valhallabound]

I subscribed. This is my new favorite thing. Never thought growing food would be the only way I get to eat it. Can't really afford fresh veggies anymore. Sucks. Going back to how my great grandparents lived. Thank you for the tip. My son wants to grow carrots so bad this year. And beets for some reason lol.

Thank you!! I have tried growing carrots for years, never success, and always thought they were bad seeds.

One trick I successfully used on seeds that are difficult to germinate, such as carrots and celery, was to use fine, loose soil, and then harvest leaf mold from deeper inside the compost pile, and lay it moist side down over the seed bed. The germination rate was incredible, it drew worms, fed the soil, and protected the soil from the elements. If you are wondering what leaf mold looks like, it is layers of compressed leaves and looks like the pages of a book that have been soaked in water, it crumbles when rubbed, and is chocolate brown. Just another idea.

I’ve been getting a lot of gardening shorts lately





It’s pretty great

0:15 So right about drying out, that’s usually my issue 😂

You've maybe convinced me to try again. I'm convinced carrots just hate me.
