I planted some carrot seed 3 weeks ago (3 weeks tomorrow). It was the Nantes variety and so an 'early' carrot. I took soil temp and it was 10 degrees and I planted in shallow drills.
Anyway - about 2 days later there was a sharp frost and there have been a couple of frosts since.
The drills are covered by a felt tunnel.
There is no sign of germination. Does this mean the carrot seed is unharmed but will germinate a bit later when the weather is more consistent? or had the seed had it?
(sorry - I really don't know much about all this malarky)
