GA: Carrots (Red Cored Chantenay) for fall sown today, using corn starch gel method

I simmered 1 cup water with 2 Tbsps corn starch.  It quickly gelled.  Removed it from heat and let it sit overnight.

Meanwhile, soaked some of the carrot seeds in water overnight.

Then this morning I mixed the pre-soaked seeds into the gel, and sowed it into a few rows at GA, in the front of the plot newly vacated by buckwheat. 

Watered them in, then covered with a double-layer of burlap and watered that.

These seeds are Red Cored Chantenay, bought from the store recently.  Haven't tried these before but thought they might be a good choice as the package says they're good for denser soils.
