One rainy afternoon I tried this: Soak a couple of sheets of paper towel in gel. Cut into long strips about 1 1/2 -2”” wide. Using tweezer and or brush place seeds on to strips. When dryish plant strips in prepared and watered bed. Lightly cover with sifted soil. May use row cover to shade til germination takes place. My rainy day fiddly Project saved me hours of thinning!😊
I've heard about this method but never seen it done on a detailed basis like this. All the salient details clearly presented. Bravo!! NOW maybe I can grow a flamin' carrot!! This video was time well spent.
Hey, thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful and I hope you let me know how your carrots go. 🥕 I love growing carrots, lol, just a bit obsessed. 😆
You know, I've never tried fall carrots. But might this year since I have room. I've heard you can overwinter your carrots to save on storage and that might be fun to try too. 😊
Seems easier and less messy to just by the seeds in pelletized form. That's what big aggro uses, to improve machine spreadability for notoriously tiny seeds like carrots.
Hi! I apologize, I had thought I responded earlier, but I may have just responded in my head, lol. I soaked them for about 2 days. Long enough for about half the seeds to have just started germinating. The seeds get really delicate once they've all germinated well and so I don't soak too much longer than that. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!
Yes! So far I've tried it with radishes, spinach, lettuce, and forget-me-nots. All with success. I've even had some fun making designs with the seeds, lol.
Hi! Those little envelopes you buy at the store are usually 1.5 grams and that could be anywhere from 200-800 seeds per gram, depending on variety. What type of carrots are you growing this year?
Scatter put a board on top, remove board after danger of first frost and thin through the summer, and use the trimmings. I get an abundance of very large carrots. Got no time for such extra work as this
The beauty of gardening is that there are so many great ways to grow! You've got your way and I've got mine. I personally think all that thinning is "extra work" but you do you. There's no need to tear down someone else's choice. If it's not for you, just keep scrolling, sugar pop. I hope you have a great day.

Love it, what a great idea, do you think toilet tissue would be okay?
I’ve never planted carrots, but I have some for this year. Definitely trying this method!

I’ve always bought pelletized seeds but wasn’t able to get them this year. I’m going to do this! I hate thinning 🤣
Amazing 🤩🥕🤩 Thank you so much. I can't wait to try this. Had to follow 😊
Thanks so much and welcome! I hope you tell me how your carrots turn out 🧡
Love this! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching 🥰
Thank you for this! I have such a hard time with carrots , problem solved 😁💕
Who knew... I'm gonna have to give this a try. I'm also going to go see if I can hunt down that other video. ☺
It's a lot of fun, let me know hownut goes if you do try it 😊
Can this be done with other smaller seeds as well, ex. Radish, lettuce.
Absolutely! I've done it with radishes, leafy greens and lettuce and even some flowers
Thanks Casey, Have carrot seeds for the fall. I have some going now. Need to tweek and look for improvements. 🥕🥕🥕

Interesting idea. I'll give it a try.
I'd love to hear how it turns out for you! 😊
Very interesting! I’m going to try this. I’ve never gotten Carrots to grow, even w seed tapes. Thank you❣️
I'd love to hear how it works out for you! Carrots are a challenge for lots of us, for sure.
This is such a cool trick! Thank you so much for sharing.
It's a lot of fun! And more versatile than I thought it would be. Thanks for watching ❤️
Brilliant
Thank You 🪻💐
What a great method! Thanks for sharing
You bet, it's a lot of fun. Let me know if you give it a try sometime!
Riw cover also helps prevent evaporation
Absolutely, great point ✌️
How long did you soak the seeds?
Hi! I apologize, I had thought I responded earlier, but I may have just responded in my head, lol. I soaked them for about 2 days. Long enough for about half the seeds to have just started germinating. The seeds get really delicate once they've all germinated well and so I don't soak too much longer than that. If you give it a try, let me know how it turns out!
Can you do this with any other tiny seeds
Yes! So far I've tried it with radishes, spinach, lettuce, and forget-me-nots. All with success. I've even had some fun making designs with the seeds, lol.
Many thanks for the tip🎉🎉🎉❤new sub here
How many seeds are typically in a commercial packet? I bought carrot seed from a grower on ebay at approximately 200 seeds per bag.

@@onemellowmarigold i bought rainbow mix seeds, so it will be everything from bright yellow to cosmic purple. I'm excited to use your method.
@@darthtaiter have fun a day let me know how they turn out!
I tried this one this year, but I didn't soak the seeds. I hope it works!!🤞😄🤞
Yay! I'd love to hear how it turns out. I've had them germinate both ways, the soaking just speeds up the germination a bit. ❤️
I have grown gardens since I was a kid Im 61 yrs young, yet carrots i cannot grow.
Maybe there's hope .... lol 😆!!!
I never see the results... 🤔
The 2023 harvest video is right in the same playlist...spoiler alert, the carrots were gorgeous! ruclips.net/video/p9QkG6YGzy4/видео.html

You do you 🤷♂️
3 teaspoons = 1 tlbs.
It was a half tablespoon measure I was using 😁
