Carrots how long after i have put the seeds in should they be showing?

[DD.]

Couple of weeksish.

[Dopey113]

OK thanks, give it a few more days, then I will re seed I think

[DD.]

Don't be in a busting rush!!

[Dopey113]

Why have i still plenty of time then?

Carrots can be sown up to June/July Dopey, so don't use them all up now!     Mine are still not showing yet either. 
I know its horrible having to wait, but you have to learn patience

A June sowing will avoid one of the flushes of carrot fly and still give you a good crop. The germination's better too.

I planted part of a raised bed last weekend and netted them over. I am not banking on seeing anything for another couple of weeks yet

sorry to hijack this thread but - how long does it take from seed to harvest when it comes to carrots? - as i would like to enter them in my local august show!

[Carrot Man]

I have sowed 2 batches of long carrots and 2 batches of short carrots
One 3rd week of feb and one 3rd week of March, 1st were up in 15 days, 2nd were all up in 19 days

I do however, cover mine to keep them warm until they are through

I would say check my blog out but I do not believe we are permitted to advertise

You can link to your blog via your profile, but not a signature link.

Have the weeds come up? Once weeds like chickweed start to come up the carrots will not be far behind.

Things seem to be hanging fire at the moment. Probably the heavy rain a week ago and frosts have cooled the soil.

Asparagus has a number of shoots just showing but that is how they have been for a week or more. We need a few warm days.

Mine were sown 19th March, 3 1/2 weeks ago and the weeds are just coming up but as yet no carrots.  I'll give them till the end of the month and then sow more but with past experience they should show soon.

I hope they are just sulking and waiting for a bit of warmth.

Patience Dopey.  I do know how you feel though.  I'm checking mine every day but remember the saying, 'a watched kettle never boils' (I kep saying that to myself every morning when I take a hopeful peep)
