Choose a sunny spot in your garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily and prepare the soil by removing weeds and loosening it to a depth of at least 12 inches.

Amend heavy clay soil with sand and compost to improve drainage and prevent carrot deformity, ensuring a loose, well-draining environment for root development.

Plant carrot seeds directly into the prepared soil about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in rows, ensuring good spacing for optimal growth.

Gently water the newly planted seeds immediately after planting and maintain consistent moisture in the soil, being careful not to overwater.

Thin the carrot seedlings once they are about 1-2 inches tall to ensure each plant has enough space to grow, leaving 3-4 inches between each seedling.

Keep the carrot patch free of weeds by regularly weeding to prevent competition for nutrients and water, which can hinder carrot growth.

Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, promoting healthy carrot development.
