From May to October, zone b plants blossom to their fullest. At this time, planting Carrots during the initial months is a great idea. Carrots need around 3-4 weeks to initialize the process of growth. Since carrots harvest in October or November, they are best to be grown in zone b. The best thing that makes them capable of zone b is its variable climate need. The seedlings need a warmer climate, while the fully-grown carrot needs a colder environment.
