And if a person has never been engaged in the winter sowing of vegetables, then it is recommended to start with carrots. Thus, you will gain valuable experience, and fresh carrots will appear on the table a few weeks earlier than those who sowed the earliest varieties in the spring.

Moreover, October, November, and even December are suitable for landing. Inexperienced people often sow carrot seeds too early, and it only gets worse. The seedlings appear already in autumn, then comes winter, which is destructive for such shoots. Do not be in a hurry: wait for the cold – start sowing.

Before planting, you need to consider that carrots will give harvestIf there were certain cultures in the area.

Separately, it is worth talking about the preparation of the soil, because carrot-bed You need to prepare in advance (before the above cold). The soil must be dug and loosened well, make grooves 3 centimeters deep. Nearby you need to store in bags and dry land to seal the grooves, as well as organic fertilizer. Make sure that all this good does not freeze before the time.

When the soil freezes by 5 cm or more, you can plant carrots. Even snow should not scare a skilled gardener. Just remove the snow from the bed, sow dry seeds, grooves previously prepared dry earth, mulch and compact this layer. And then throw the bed again with snow.

If the snow has not yet fallen, then cover the bed with carrots with spruce or pine branches. And when the snow falls, do not forget to throw a pretty layer of snow on the bed. If there is a lot of snow in the spring, then it will need to be removed a little so that it melts faster.



Avid gardeners have really tried this method and highly praise it. The fact is that if you sow seeds of carrots with semolina (or even with flour), then you will immediately see clearly from the grooves how often the seeds are sown. This makes it easier for the carrots to get out of the carrot (although it does not completely get rid of it).

And you can initially sprinkle grooves for carrots with seclusion or flour. And you can mix the seeds with the same manka in a separate container, and then sow this mixture. And all the seeds will be immediately visible, which will only increase the chances of a decent harvest.
