Some people don’t plant anything except onions and garlic in the winter, but you shouldn’t limit yourself to that.

Carrots are also capable of producing quite a good harvest.

However, to do this you need to follow certain rules.

What do they consist of?

Choose planting material correctly

Not all varieties of carrots are suitable for winter sowing, so this factor is decisive. Always read the manufacturer's information.

If the variety is not initially designed for this type of planting, then there is no need to take risks.

Time

It is always important to remember that the weather conditions must be suitable. Do not plant carrots if the temperature is already below zero.

It is best to choose the second half of October for planting. The weather should be around plus five degrees.

Landing

The depth of the furrows should be no more than three centimeters. The gaps between the rows should be no less than 20 centimeters.

It is better to lay out more seeds, since not all of them will sprout.

Afterwards, be sure to cover the plantings with a layer of peat or soil.
