Plant seeds 1\/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to allow proper root development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarrots thrive in loose, stone-free soil to prevent forked or stunted roots. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
