Why have my carrots not come up?

You are not alone. I've only had three or four come up. Mind you,
they're doing better than my peas - not a single one!? How can you go
wrong with peas, for God's sake? I did the whole thing as per
instructions - prepared the soil carefully, made the V-shaped trench,
gave it a good watering, plonked the peas in, sat back and waited ...
and waited ... are they especially fussy about sowing depth? I think I
may have planted them a /little/ deep, but other than that I am
flummoxed.

It doesn't sound from my, somewhat limited, experience that you've done
anything wrong. Maybe mice or birds got to the seeds before they had a
chance to germinate?
Started my first ever veg plot this year, and nearly all of my peas have
come up. Fantastic moment last night when I picked one of the immature
pods and ate it while looking at my garden. Delicious! Slightly sad I
know, but it's the first thing I've ever eaten that I've grown myself,
so I think I'll excuse myself!
