They require consistently moist soil and sometimes two weeks or more for germination. Dry or windy weather can mean slow or no germination for carrots. Carrots, parsnips, and parsley take 14 to 21 days to germinate; that means you must keep the seed bed evenly moist for up to three weeks or longer. This may require near constant attention.
If you are growing your own starts, germinate the seeds at 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and expect sprouts in eight to 12 days. Start the seeds eight to 12 weeks before the last frost and keep the sprouts between 35 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit for the last 10 days to encourage flowering.
