Sowing Tips
Soil Temperature
Direct sow or transplant when soil at planting depth holds 40°F for reliable germination and early growth.
Expert Note
For the best winter storage, sow thinly in deep, stone-free soil and keep moisture steady until tops emerge—Nantes-type carrots store best when grown evenly, not rushed.
