Begin by preparing a well-drained garden bed with loose, sandy soil free of rocks and debris. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them shallowly, about 1/4 inch deep, and spacing them 2 to 3 inches apart in rows or a grid pattern. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination, but avoid over watering to prevent rot. Place the planted seeds in a location with sun exposure of at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. Keep the soil weed-free to prevent competition for nutrients and water. Monitor for pests like carrot rust fly larvae and take preventive measures such as covering with row covers if necessary. With diligent care and regular watering, you'll soon be harvesting sweet and crunchy Tendersweet carrots from your garden.
