I put my carrot seed in about 2 weeks ago and there is still no sign of it.. when should I start to see them coming through?

Cheers

I've had mine, Amsterdam Forcing, in well over a month and nothing yet. Parsnips went in same time and they a have they first real leaves already.

Think I might just re-sow and keep fingers crossed. Checked my favorite book and it says that carrots take average 16 days to germinate - so you might be lucky soon sadgit.

I was hoping some-one would say that WG, I've got some that shouldn't even be started until May, I had to re-read th packet to make sure I hadn't read it wrong

I have just today put in some more. The first lot took so long I lost Patience . Raked the ground over and started again now carrots are coming up all over :? . They seem to take more than the 14 days it says on the packet.

I don't think yours are too late hermon, my packets say you can plant up to June for succession. I think I've had my carrots and parsnips in about 2 weeks and nothing yet. The only ones that are growing are some that I put in a pot in February to see what they would do and the greenery is about 4 inches high on them.

Mine took 10 days to show through BUT it wasn't really until after rain that they popped up to be honest.

I put some carrots under a cloche about 3 weeks ago and they still don't seem interested, they have got another week with cloche off and thats it they shall be deemed useless
