An excellent option would be a plot under a tree with a sparse crown. In this case, the plant will receive enough sunlight, but at the same time will be protected during hot periods.

If you plant carrots in the shade, the roots may not form at all.

Planting the plant in an open area will increase the risk that the plant will develop serious problems in high temperature conditions.

Experienced gardeners have noticed the following pattern: long exposure of garden crops to the scorching sun increases the risk of small-sized vegetables forming. In addition, carrots may begin to wither.
