I haven’t had much luck with carrots before as something mows them down while they’re still seedlings. I’m trying them in a container to see if that helps. I chose a container that was as wide and carrot-deep as I could find (unfortunately I can’t afford another wine barrel right now). Used Black Gold potting soil.
