I've had years where my carrots did very poorly just because they take so long to germinate. There's only so much watering you can do if you're in a drought.

And it took four or five years of pulling successively smaller rocks out of my plot before the soil was clean enough to grow carrots. Remembering just how long it took to build the soil, is a big reason why I'm hesitating to move my patch out of the shade of that cherry tree that's grown so tall...

All I've got left now is carrots and kale and parsley. And plenty in the freezer and jars.
