I tried scattering my carrots last year and I really surprised by how well they did. I also did the same thing with my radishes with complete success. On the plus side, once they were up and flourishing there was minimal weeding to be done!!

If you water them in then place a piece of cardboard over them and water it so it's heavy and won't blow away, then you won't need to water every day. The cardboard prevents the sun from evaporating your moisture as fast. Just remember after a few days lift up the cardboard everyday to see if they germinated, if so pull off the cardboard.

I live in a semi-desert climate and I agree with you. Thoroughly water your soil and let in soak in for a day or two. Sow your seeds then cover with cardboard, old carpet or even a piece of plywood and check every day after about 10 days. Once you see germinate, remove the cover and ensure that the ground stays moist. Once the carrots get mature enough, apply mulch. Works for me.

Near Memphis. I have overwintered carrots before. I have had very little luck getting germination though. This fall, I tried your greenhouse trick. I scattered perlite over the whole bed, after scattering a lot of mixed seeds. Did this right before a good rain. Didn't water. Had no more rain for a month till just now. We have sprouts everywhere. I had a little trouble with squirrels or cats digging. I stretched the green plastic fence over the beds. We got really good germination this year. I'll be trying it again next fall, just to see if it was a fluke or its going to work all the time.

I bet you get some gigantic carrots in those raised beds. I'm actually adding 4 raised beds to my farm at the moment. You inspired me. I'm growing four 50 ft. rows of carrots at the moment for the spring. I got skunked with the damn pelleted seeds from Johnnys this year and wasted a good 100 bucks and had to replant. Went to my local farm store and just got the staple varieties unpelleted. Perfect germination. I'm done with pelleted carrot seed. My soil is kind of heavy and I think the energy it takes them to break the pellet prevents them from breaking the surface of the soil. They are simply too exhausted.

I've had good luck with overwintering carrots in a river delta area in Maritime NW Wa for decades, protected exposure. However I'm almost in Canada now and will have to see if I can manage it in raised beds cause no way you could grow carrots in the glacial cement I have now. Had to go to all raised beds. Wish me luck!

I had great carrots finally this past spring for the first time. Carrots have to stay moist ALL the time not just the beginning. At least here in Memphis. I used high nitrogen to get the tops really going then i left them alone except watering regularly. Large pots did better than inground. My 2 cents

I’m trying carrots for the second time this year in 10 gallon grow bags. I’m filling them half way with hay and topping with quality soil and then scattering the seeds and praying for a good harvest. We might put some in one of our raised beds but my husband works out of state M-F so grow bags and large pots are what I can manage on my own during the week 😅 so that’s what I’m going with, I’m just north of you, west of Atlanta near the AL state line..

I love grow bags for my area with all the cold rain. However a lot of work in Aug-Sept when we get no rain. Sadly all my grow bags were banned in my HOA. Cause of handles. 🙄. Got tired of the fight and just bought 40 20 gallon barrel liners. No handles. No fading. All matching. Black. UV resistant. No more complaints I hope. Why liners? Cause they don't like wood barrels, wood raised beds, terra cotta, or colored pots that fade. 😂

Depending on how close you are to the sound and type of soil you shouldn't need to move them into greenhouse up here. I grew them top of Seattle Hill in Snohomish AND Marysville in the delta area. sandy delta soil had better results overwintering. On top of hill soil was heavy and carrots struggled but we had food.

I used to live in the Kansas City area…. I over-wintered carrots once by accident….the carrots didn’t produce well in the fall, so I just left them. Next spring they took off and produced a beautiful crop of carrots. I now live 100+ miles NorthEast of Kansas City… have tried to over-winter with zero success. I’m guessing that distance, and does get colder made the difference. We get sub zero temperatures at least a day or more each winter.

If you live NORTH, and you get cold soil (NOT FROZEN) carrots can overwinter. IF Carrots freeze, it can damage them, so, anywhere the ground freezes, it's not a great thing to over winter them. Snow is fine, and light frosts, are great for sweeter carrot, but frozen? not a good plan. UMass Agri school, Michigan State, UMichigan, VT coll. and a few others all recommend pulling carrot before the ground Freezes.

I don't fertilize at all. I put about 3 inches of compost on top of my soil at the end of each season and then heavily mulch with leaves until spring when I remove them. One season, I grew the same kind of carrots in two different raised beds. I wanted to see if feeding my plants made any difference. So I applied an organic 3-1-5 fertilizer to one bed and nothing to the other. I didn't notice any difference between the beds. I'm guessing that if you're unsure, it doesn't hurt to apply the product recommended application for your fertilizer. It doesn't do any harm.

I'm in the Niagara region of Ontario, Canada, and I've had a couple carrots overwinter 2 years ago, but the ones I tried last year turned to mush. So I imagine it depends on the weather. One tip for carrot growing is never believe the Days to Maturity on the package! Often they'll say 70 days but will take over 100, at least here!
