When seeds didn't germinate well

Sometimes you sow a crop and the seeds don't germinate well. There can be various reasons for this, sometimes bad weather circumstances, or old seeds, etc. In my case, voles dug tunnels underneath my winter carrots. In such a case it is often best to add new seeds in the line. Of course, there should still be enough time in the season for those seeds to grow to full maturity and a good harvest.
