How to Plant Carrot Seeds Outdoors In A Container

Use your finger rows using your finger nails about 1-2" apart.

Go about a fingernail deep.

At the beginning of one of the lines you dug, place some seeds.

Don't be concerned as to exact amounts. Somewhere in the 3-6 range is fine, give or take.

The goal is to grow carrots, not to have a perfect carrot garden.

Yes that would be great, but you try to pick one seed at a time.

Space the cluster of seeds about 1/4-1/2" apart.

Once you get the rows done, spray them down with a misting bottle.

Use something to mark the rows, so you know where the seeds have been planted.

Cover them up with more soil and spray down again.

Started container garden this morning and got carrot seeds (and garlic to plant) after this video. Extremely helpful stuff here - especially to new gardeners!

I have bought some carrot seeds that r supposed to be easy to grow. They r carrot fly resistent and produce a vast harvest. Is that a good type of carrot.

@Dustox4 Um, hard to tell from that description.

@Dustox4 You growing in a container? If you have a small container, you aren't going to get many carrots. I always recommend growing greens to people.
