Carrots not germinating.

I haven't bothered this year as a) I now know what parsnip seedlings look like and, b) I'm not all that fussed about eating radishes.

Might be slugs?

Sowed them direct into new beds which admittedly the soil is quite fertile however not sure how that would affect it.
Should I resow or give up?

Optimum temperature for carrot germination is about 15 degrees. Sowed mine about a month ago, a mixture of old and new seed, and the soil at the lottie is ideal - sandy and this plot was mucked 2 years ago for brassicas. They poked through in the April heatwave, but even in the near Mediterranean climate of Suffolk they're struggling to kick on.
Disappointing as I usually manage 3 sowings:
Late March, mid-June and late August. The latter supplying us with carrots until I sow the next year in late March, so we're only really missing carrots for about 3 months of the year.Are y'oroight booy?
