When you get to the age that arthritis in the hands is bad enough all these tricks are still too much trouble. A couple of years ago I started using pelleted seeds from Johnny's and haven't looked back. One drawback is those seeds don't do as well the second year so you need fresh ones each year for the best results and they aren't cheap. I really love the fresh sweet flavor of fresh carrots. I have been having fantastic luck with Sugar Snax. Until I started growing them I never had carrots over a foot long and now it isn't uncommon to have some over 16 inches long. Most are about a foot long and they are very sweet and tender.
