Re: Sprouting carrot seeds

RE:  Carrot seeds not sprouting:

For the last few years I have found that carrots seeds sprout better
if I presoak them in my normal seed sprouting jar.  That is I soak
them in water over night, then keep them moist for three or four days.
(do not let them sprout in the jar)  After that I mix them with dry
sand and spread them in my beds.  It is still necessary to keep the
bed moist once the seeds have been planted.  Pre-soaking results in
faster carrot seedlings and a more successful density of plants.  I
also pre-soak Zinnia seeds. As another suggested, I throw in radish
seeds to mark the rows within the raised bed.
