Most often, carrots are sown directly in the open ground, as this avoids the difficulties associated with transplanting. But sometimes it can still make sense to grow carrots in pots first. By planting medium-sized carrot seedlings in the raised bed or in the ground, the snails' great appetite for the freshly germinated carrot seedlings can be tricked.
Picking carrots requires a lot of care
If you want to prick carrots from a pre-culture, you should be particularly careful. Give yourself enough time, as injuries to the sensitive root neck can lead to malformations in the carrots. In the vegetable patch, use your finger to make a hole in the soil and gently press it closed as soon as the root of the plant is in the hole.
