Hi Chesh, as David said carrots should be sown direct into the ground or the container you intend growing them in. Carrots have a long tap root which needs a good depth of ground or deep container to grow undisturbed otherwise you end up with mishapen or forked carrots. You can sow the carrot seeds in your container outside now.
