Direct Seed Carrots and Beets

What happens here

For direct seeding carrots and beets, choose a garden bed that has not been heavily mulched, as fine seeds require closer contact with the soil. Take 'Farmer's Almanac Carrots Tendersweet' seeds and 'Bailey's Liberty Garden Beets Detroit Dark Red' seeds. Sprinkle the carrot seeds sparsely and evenly across the bare soil of one bed. Pat the soil lightly to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. For small seeds, the rule of thumb is to plant them to a depth roughly equivalent to their size. Repeat this process for beet seeds in another designated area.

Goal: Plant carrot and beet seeds directly into the soil
