What you need to know to Plant & Grow

Prepare your garden plot for a cosmic journey—carrots will grow well in any open, well-cultivated, deep garden soil.

Planting: Once soil temperature rises above 7.5°C, sow seed about 5 mm deep and 5 mm apart in rows spaced at 45-60 cm. As the seed is quite small, mix it with some sand when sowing. Sow seed at 5-day intervals over several weeks to ensure a continuous harvest.

Care: Keep the seedbed evenly moist during the two-week germination period but avoid crusting over the soil as this will greatly reduce the number of seedlings that emerge. Thin the seedlings during the early stages of growth until they are 6 cm apart. Keep the plants evenly watered, weed-free and avoid high nitrogen fertilizers. Harvest any time after the carrot roots develop their good colour.
