From the First & Last Diary of March 9th.
Sowed a double row of Early Nantes 2 carrot under plastic cloches.

They were showing through about three days ago.

Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut and be suspected of knowing nothing than opening it and proving it.

I'd put some plastic over and let the soil warm up for a few days, before sowing  :)

Or why not just sow them without any fuss. They will probably grow. That is what nature intended.
