How to grow carrots from seed in containers

In this video, we learn, step-by-step, how to grow carrots from seed in containers, going over the type of container to use, how to prepare the soil, sowing the seeds, pest control and harvesting.

Due to the relatively vertical nature of the plant, carrots can be grown fairly densely, and are therefore a good choice for a smaller growing area. Which means that even a little garden can produce a lot more carrots than, say, lettuce or cucumbers.

Carrot seeds can be sown from early spring right through late summer, for a harvest that will last nearly year-round, so they form an essential part of nearly every vegetable garden.
