When it comes to the planting time of carrots, most people are actually not very clear about it, because carrots are basically available on the market all year round. The reason carrots are available all year round is people's demand, which has led to the development of various growing techniques. So when is the best time to plant carrots? Of course, the best time to plant is the period from July 7 to August 23 each year. Of course, the planting time differs from region to region; in some regions sowing begins in June, for example in Northeast China.

Planting Methods

Choosing and preparing the land: Before planting carrots, you need to choose land suitable for their growth. Generally, crops that bear their fruit underground need relatively loose soil that is fairly fertile and has good drainage and irrigation, so the same applies to carrots. When preparing the land, be careful to remove field debris and weeds as much as possible, level the land, break the soil up fine, spread farmyard manure as a base fertilizer, and then sow after drying it in the sun for a few days.

Sowing and fertilizing: The main sowing method for carrots is to first form the land into ridges and then broadcast the seed along the rows of ridges. Before sowing, you can cover the surface with a layer of rapeseed stalks or corn stalks. It is best to sow after rain or on the day before rain, as this helps the seeds germinate.

Field management: Fertilizing is generally done for the first time when the carrot seedlings have grown to four or five centimeters, in order to help the seedlings grow better. The second fertilizing should wait until the carrots begin to grow larger; at this time the fertilizer is crucial and seriously affects their growth. Next is controlling the moisture in the field well: water promptly during relatively dry periods, and in summer when there is a lot of rain, go to the field to clear the drainage ditches so that water can be drained away.

Harvesting: Carrots can be harvested in batches. According to their size, harvest the largest ones first, and the small ones can still grow quickly after the large ones are harvested. Although harvesting can be done in batches, you must harvest in time; harvesting too late will affect the quality of the carrots, and by then the carrots will be very old and not tender at all.
