With plenty of compost and aged manure added, root veggies would be a good choice to follow garlic.

I got carrot seeds to grow in 1 week, that's right, I soaked the seeds in warm water for 24 hours then sowed them out & covered with a thin layer of sugar cane mulch.

An old trick was to put a damp hessian bag on the seeds until they germinated. Or today you could use shade cloth - probably the 90% the best. Cost about $10/m 1800mm wide.

Bet you had fun trying to plant out small wet carrot seeds.

I can just imagine it, tiny wet seeds, it’s difficult enough to sow when they are dry. I planted my seeds in a large pot hope they are successful, I like your tips

I just buy the ones on tape,so basically just lay the tape down and lightly cover and water

How long does it take to grow baby carrots, and is it different to planting normal carrots?

The guide say 12-18 weeks - so baby carrots probably closer to the 12 + weeks. I would say no different growing them. A round carrot called Paris Market takes 55-70 days.

I planted carrot seedlings from bunnings I thought each separate square of the tray would be one carrot, heaps grew all tangled together, I separated what I could, and replanted the ones that still had roots, will they still grow? Also when sowing first, do. I plant one seed per space or multiple seed and seperate when transplanting? Any advice is appreciated!
