I think I may of got a bit carried away today and put my Carrot seed in a bit to deep in my raised bed. I think they may have about a little over two inches of soil over them.
Is this to deep or will they just take a little longer to come through.





Edit title for clarity

[DD.]

I suspect you may have seen the last of them.

[the Kergan]

Dear me it's all good news today, how deep should they be? Was thinking about 10mm perhaps.

I can get the seeds up again in the morning as they are on tapes.

[mattwragg94]

yeh 10mm should be fine, i JUST to cover them

[DD.]

It should say on the packet!

[the Kergan]

Nothing on the packet. But I have just been out their and either a cat or pigeon has been out there and pulled up the tape in a couple of places. I will have to start again in the morning and net it afterwards.

How long does it take for carrot seedlings to show.

[mattwragg94]

mine took 2 weeks     - they shouldn't take that long

I think two weeks or so is about right tbh

Yes you can deifinately plant them too deep
I sow mine apprx. 1/2" deep
I use a short piece of cane with tape marked on it at the required depth
