Growing Information

Sow thinly direct into finely raked, moist, warm soil at a depth of 13mm (½") in rows about 15cm (6") apart. Germination 15-20 days. Pull small carrots for salad use. For larger roots thin the seedlings to 38-50mm (1½-2") between plants. Can also be sown in February in frames or under cloches for early roots. Carrots grow best in a sunny position in well cultivated soil which has not recently been manured. To prevent Carrot Fly damage erect a barrier of horticultural fleece to surround the crop. Sowing - cropping: 12-14 weeks.
