Carrots

Anyone wanna take the lead on carrot sowing? We have a baby carrot and a regular long variety.

Let's plant the carrots successively (so that they won't all ripen at once.) I have reserved three 2X1 sections for the carrots, so we can sow a 1X1's now for each variety, and one more every two weeks. 

Basic instructions: 

(1) Sprinkle fifty seeds as evenly as you can over one square foot. (The book I have recommends doing this from a spice container with a little bit rock phosphate mixed in, but I can't find rock phosphate anywhere).

(2) Mix 2 parts topsoil, 1 part sand. Sprinkle a layer of this mix about 1/4 inch deep over the seed.

(3) Sprinkle 1/4 cup fertilizer atop that layer.

(4) Add 1/8 inch more of the topsoil/sand mixture. 

(5) Pat gently. Mist the soil with our misting nozzle, to a depth of about three inches.

Sit, wait, and watch the carrots grow. For seventy days.
