the young of a horse is a foal A baby horse is called a foal. A year old foal is called a yearling; a foal that no longer nurses from its mother is called a weanling. A male hâ¦orse is called a colt until it turns four years old, a female horse is called a filly until the same time.
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.
In 2-6 weeks, roots and a stem will sprout from the seed. When the stem is about six inches long, trim it in half. When the stem leafs again, transplant the seedling to a pot with loose, sandy soil. Plant the seedling root down, leaving the top half of the pit sticking out of the soil.
