Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 45°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
For best germination and straight roots, keep the seedbed consistently moist and avoid thinning delays; carrot roots can fork if the soil surface crusts.
