Approx. 400 seeds

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, light, fertile soil, which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Early sowings may benefit cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on. Water well until plants are established. Harvest: June-December. Roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand.

Rotate carrot crops yearly to reduce any chance of disease, a 3 year cycle is preferred.
