Carrots are hard to germinate, easy to grow. I recommend trying them again. After sowing, water well and cover with a board or cardboard or we use silage tarps. This speeds up the germination so you aren't waiting for 2 weeks wondering are there carrots? Weed thoroughly and you'll get some great carrots unless the soil is uselessly compacted (often they can still fight it) or crazy with rocks. Compost fixes all soil types, organic matter. Once you grow your own carrots not only will you feel like a real pro, you'll never have a better carrot. I like early nantes types, Adilaide and Mokum are best tasting and fast growers.
