How to Sow Fall Carrot Seeds || Black Gumbo

- Fall has finally arrived here on the Texas coast so it is time to sow the annual carrot patch. This year I'll be growing carrots in a small raised bed. Come along as I bust the myth that carrots are hard to grow.

Scott is back!
I just sowed my carrot seeds this weekend. Space coast FL zone 9B.
So happy you’re back! Put carrot seeds in the ground earlier today. Central Florida 9b
Nice to see you Scott I’m so glad you came back out. It is cooler now it was one heck of a summer, so hot so so hot I actually like the fall gardening I’ve already started my carrots and all my jalapeño plants are kicking back in I still got two watermelon’s hanging around but I’m really switching over to cooler crops cabbage, brussels sprouts collards ate some of my own collards this morning. No yesterday for lunch.
I cover my carrot seeds with wet cardboard and they come up in just a few days. I keep it moist.
I started my fall plantings at the beginning of this month on my little patio (zone 8 TX). I planted the 1st wave of Baby Fingers Carrots on the 1st . I'll plant more in another container tomorrow. You're right about the summer. It was so hot on my patio that my OKRA died! Imagine OKRA dying from heat! It was the craziest summer season I've ever had. I lost so many plants--I was barely able to keep my peppers alive, and only my 2nd year Banana Peppers hung on long enough to fruit again. The only leafy veggies I was able to keep were in constant shade the whole summer--my yellow Chard and one Kale plant. Soooooo thankful for the cooler weather upon us now!!!
Great to see you and Phoebe! Thank goodness for October!
Hi wanda Good morning. I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
Hi Scott, great to see you back. You mentioned purslane is a weed and you can also eat it as a vegetable, it’s very tasty. Looking forward to more of your videos.
So glad you are back. I have missed your videos.
Hooray ! Another video makes me Smile ! I’m so glad you are back ! Well I’ve taken out all 5 tomato plants from the new planter bed in my Front yard! I’ve had many lookee Lou’s walk by and tell me how nice it looks. as always thank you for sharing Scott. I hope you and your family. Have a wonderful evening.
Happy to see you are back.
Good to see you again!
Good to see you back!
I use seed starting mix to plant my carrots as well. Works every time! Glad to see you gardening again.
The old Scott is back!! I'm so happy you're back on the grid and seem to be in good spirits.
I was thinking about you the other day. I had to take a 30+ year old yew bush out of one of my flower gardens. Of course it was quite the challenge and it reminded me of the video you did with your bushes.
Pheobe!!! Good to see ya gal!
(And of course its good to see you, Scott.)
Im glad my garden is winding down. No new planting for me until the Spring
It’s good to see you and Phoebe.
Good to see you again, Scott!
woohoo the heat is gone and its time to get back out in the garden. I had only one plant survive this summer a cherry tomato that I almost pulled up but is now full of little green tomatoes I hope they ripen... Thanks Scott for posting this I am going to run out and plant some carrots this week....
Purslane is a wonderful plant to have. So wish I had some in my garden.
It’s very easy to propagate. We have it growing in our herb garden.
Looking forward to carrots this fall and winter!
Your carrot variety looks great I have onions and garlic planted right now in my garden
Glad you back😊
Good to see you, Scott.
Thanks, I'm in Tucson. I've been holding off a littie. We are still getting a few 100 degree days. I think I will get started this weekend. Gary
Good to see you and Phoebe! Thanks for the carrot tips!
Sure hope you have a good harvest. I have one pepper plant that started to bloom and one cherry tomato plant that has bloom. I’ve kept them watered and then I stopped. It was so very hot. Well the nice slow rain came after no rain for so long and I went out to water my GreenStalk and notice the blooms. So I started watering. The cherry is a sweet little orange tomato and there’s bloom and a tomato on it. I forgot the name. All I can figure is they really wanted to live. I’m in Houston so you probably get a little more rain through the summer than we did. I’ve lived here all my life, but this summer was brutal. Our Son, Daniel and his wife went to the Texas Motor Speedway. That day it was the hottest race on record. I’m thankful that’s over, although we are predicted to hit 93 on Friday. Thanks for sharing Scott.
Hey Scott glad to see you
Have mine planted already.
Hi Scott !
Yes! My Jalapeno plant is also putting on fruit like crazy. I don't know if you remember my journey in the last few years, but I've shared some of it with you. I'm in an apt. and this year was my best year by far. I've learned so much from you and David the Good.
Got 4 tomato plants and they're still doing well. I'm in zone 7b so we still have some warmth left. I'm basically pruning back and trying to get whatever's left on the vine to ripen. I have harvested 41 tomatoes so far and have 47 on the vine. I'm pretty sure I won't be able to harvest every single last one, but that's okay!
My Jalapeno plant has 26+ on vine and I've harvested 17 so far. Lastly, I had some success with an Okra plant and just harvested 2 pods this morning of roughly 3" each.
My failures this year included 3 Bell Pepper plants that did absolutely nothing, a Squash plant that (I think) tried really hard but just didn't have enough space/sunlight, and a Cucumber plant that grew like crazy (lots of males) but never really developed any females. Oh well.
I think Squash and Cucumber do better in the ground, but again, I'm working with roughly 4-5 hours of sun a day. I'm also composting now and it's one of my favorite things ever. Thank you so much for your helpful and in-depth guides over the years (especially regarding composting). They have been such a blessing!
Glad to see you again scott!! I'm going raised bed this season as well! Thanks for the inspiration my friend 😊
Good to see you! As those of us in the South venture outside finally, we can get our gardens in shape again.
Never clicked a video so fast haha. Great to see you back! I actually just planted some carrot seeds a few days ago! I may have to do it again after this video :)
So glad to see you again, yes this summer was so hot 🥵 here in Texas that I just started enjoying some pepper harvest poor plants survived but didn’t produce at all until now
The only thing in my garden in La Porte was my Green Beans. They took a heat beating, but now are producing again. Getting ready to try carrots next week.
Great video! ❤
Black Gumbo, I’m so glad to see you sowing carrot seeds because I wasn’t sure if I could grow them during this time of year but took a chance. My carrots have actually been in the ground for a couple weeks now along with my radishes.
Good to see you back! The summer was rough on my garden in Zone 9A in Mississippi as well. I just getting things whipped back into shape!
I lost my currants too here is south Texas. My newly planted fruit trees have done fine through the drought. I watered deeply and pretty often. I need to weigh down my apple branches. My stone fruit branches are looking good. Planted lots of fall veggies. Cucumbers are a couple inches.

Update on those 🥕?
Is there a carrot update video?
We don't have much left of our garden but 2 or 3 catalopes almost ready and a rogue eggplant that I think our 7 year old snuck in the mix, and it is thriving. I hit the dollar general when they had 50% off the already 50% off. So I got a ton of vegetable and flower seeds for .25 a piece! Great video and Hello again from Spring up I45 the North Side!
Good to see you back.
Does your stirrup hoe have a serrated blade?
Love your videos. But I have to say the purslane is healthier than the carrots! Ha!
Assuming you have some kind of irrigation system, adding a 1/4" mister fitting on a timer can make a world of difference.
Always wanted to start a carrot garden - Was wondering how much thinning do you do? Thanks again
Great video. I just finished all my beds today and will be planting on Friday. Carrots, beets, and radishes. How do you feel about cabbage, and lettuce starts from the store? Or should I plant seeds now in the ground?
You can do either. I like direct sowing since I can grow wider varieties. But I’ve grown starts too and had success.
Thanks. Have a great night.@@ScottHead
I live in NH and we get quite a bit of snow. Is it beneficial to peat moss, cow manure, raised bed soil and fertilizer to amend my beds now or wait till spring? 🌻
Should you wait in til germination to use ground cover?
You mean like mulch? Yes. But I never mulch my carrots, they tend to grow dense and serve as their own ground cover.
what wood type did you use on the 3x6 bed?
are you planning to get more currants
I'm not sure, they really are on they really are a risk in my area, we are just on the edge of their growing regions. If we have summers like this past one they will never survive.
I wondered the same. Never heard of black currants or any currants growing in Houston. Love currant jelly!! However I have never seen the bushes for sale locally.
