Many people believe that carrots should only be sown in the spring. However, experienced gardeners know that sowing in the fall, particularly at the end of November, can yield impressive results. With the right technique, you can achieve a bountiful harvest that surpasses expectations.

Preparing for Sowing:

  1. Garden Preparation: In November, while the weather is still relatively warm, clear the garden of weeds and thoroughly dig up the soil. This will create ideal conditions for carrot growth. Incorporate both organic and mineral fertilizers, such as superphosphate and ammonium nitrate, during the digging process.
  2. Sowing the Seeds: Sow the carrot seeds more densely than usual, about 2-3 times the typical amount. There is no need to pre-soak the seeds. After sowing, press the soil down firmly, water the area with a watering can, and cover the bed with non-woven fabric.
  3. Winter Protection: Once persistent frosts begin, add an extra layer of protection by covering the bed with leaves or spruce branches. According to seasoned gardeners, this approach ensures an outstanding result for carrots sown in November.
