Probably.. especially if you used an early variety like Nantes Fruhbund(?)... :)

it works for me.

your best bet is to start them off indoors, and then move them into the cold greenhouse after they have germinated. Carrots are a bit slow to germinate in the cold

think it would depend on your location cos if too cold they won't do well, be patient 8)
