The second half of spring is the time for active sowing in garden beds, and it is simply impossible to imagine gardens without carrots.
Carrot seeds are considered to be cold-resistant and germinate even if the temperature does not rise above 3-5 degrees Celsius.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer, told when to sow carrots in the spring of 2024.
Sowing dates
Despite the fact that the seeds are resistant to cold, gardeners do not recommend starting sowing before the end of April.
But it wouldn’t hurt to listen to the recommendations of the lunar calendar.
Lunar calendar. Best days
In April, carrots can still be sown on April 29.
In May, it is recommended to devote time to the vegetable in the period from May 15 to 19, as well as on May 27.
Late summer residents can sow carrots on June 1, 2 and 5.
So that the harvest is good
1. Root crops love loose soil, and humus or compost as fertilizers, plus an optimal watering regime.
2. For sowing, you should choose well-lit beds with sunlit beds, and be sure to remove any weeds.
3. Sow seeds at intervals of 3 cm to a depth of 1.5-2 cm. After the emergence of seedlings, thin out the plantings if necessary.
