yeah i hear ya
rocky newengland soil...heck it grows rocks ....so my solution is to import a couple yards of sand ...the coarse river bed sand
and make a special bed , just for carrots...my beds are typically 4 feet wide ....just able to reach to the middle from either side and how ever long you have space for ...raised and set up to hold water like a bath tub so you can flood them....thats what controls the "micro-climate" in the garden and signifigantly keeps the soil cooler and prevents bolting. so i deep water first especially before a rain...which rarely penetrates that deep...then i maintenance water by over head sprinkler
again to maintain the coolest microclimate you can....
