The first half of May is the ideal period for sowing carrots. We are talking about mid-season varieties of this crop.
At the beginning of summer, many summer residents will return to this procedure, as they will start planting seeds of late varieties of root crops.
Once the seed is in the soil, you have to wait for the shoots to appear.
Sometimes it takes several weeks. The situation is aggravated if bad seeds were used, the soil condition is not the best, and the weather conditions were unfavourable.
However, it is quite possible to achieve an early start of the necessary process.
The seedlings will appear after just three days if the seed material undergoes a certain preliminary treatment.
What procedure are we talking about?
The seeds should be placed in a bundle, and the resulting “device” should be placed in a cold place.
You should take action a week before you plan to plant carrots.
You need to take a piece of fabric (cotton is ideal), slightly moisten it with clean water, and then place the seeds on it.
Next, the material should be folded so that the seed material is not “compressed”.
The bundle should lie in the refrigerator for about 7 days.
After this procedure is completed, the seeds can be sent to the ground. The holes should be quite deep, and the soil should be moist. It is desirable to achieve the most uniform distribution of the seed material.
This planting option is a guarantee that the carrots will sprout quite early. In addition, the gardener will be relieved of the need to thin out the plant frequently.
