Default Gardening Q

Yes I am this patheically stupid about gardening. Any and all help would be greatly apriciated, I don't want to screw up my DSs carrots just cause I have a brown thumb. (I can generally get pretty green shoots, but that is it)

I have a paket of carrot seeds that my DS wants to plant. It says sow in rows 1 inch apart. the seeds are tiny. des it really mean one tiny seed per hole?

Does the ground need to be relativly level? (backyard is a small slope)

It says thin out after 1 to 2 weeks (I think that was the number) what does that mean? I know thin means get rid of some, but which ones do I get rid of? why plant them 1 inch apart if that will be too close?

Should I use the small amount of black dirt I have or will the lousy red stuf work?

Watering, do I have to keep te dirt wet, or juist moist? I don't wnt to drown them.

Is it too early to plant them? or too late? (I live in southwest NC, pretty much spring now)
