Half Long Heirloom Carrots

I started with Danver's Half Long Heirloom Carrot seeds from Seed Savers. I planted them directly into the soil in late May in two rows about 4" apart, sprinkled the seeds into a 1/4" deep row and covered them.
  • Day 1 (05.23.09): Planted seeds 1/4" deep in the ground.
  • Day 10 (06.01.09: Sprouts begin to appear.
  • Day 19 (06.09.09): Sprouts are now about 1" tall, trimmed back excess sprouts.
  • Day 41 (07.01.09): Soil has become overly compact from heavy rains and drastic shifts in weather from hot to cold. Recycled carrots due to poor growing conditions.
