I grow my carrots under fleece, from sowing to harvesting. every now and then I take a peep and see how they are doing, take out any weeds, but just leave them to it.
best ever! had some tonight, just as I was thinking next year I might not do any veg, getting fed up of doing it every year,but the taste!! nothing taste like home grown carrots.
why not?!!! and why not in restaurants either?!!!!
I cover my carrots with a fleece "tent" and this seems to work. It is a bit of a nuisance when I want to crop a few carrots. When can I safely remove my tent? (That is, when do the little blighters stop flying around?)
I have grown under fleece, no joy, I have grown in containers, no joy, and then growing in containers raised up to 4ft high results were better but not great. You have to grow what is worthwhile and carrots just do not do well on my patch which is a shame as I have deep rich sandy soil; moral of the tale--quit while your'e behind!

I now plant carrots inside a pallet collar and cover with fleece until the greenery pokes through , then remove the fleece so far it has worked fine
the pallet collars are like what you have for a raised bed but the soil at the bottom of the bed , hope that makes sense
tried planting with garlic and onions , works well until you harvest garlic and onions
I also plant my onion and carrot rows like Osckar and find that works.
Your not last now Verdun
