Planting Instructions
Carrots must be direct sown.
For an early crop, sow seeds in spring as soon as soil can be worked. Choose a location with 6 - 8 hours of full sun, in light, sandy or humus, well-drained soil. Mix the amount of seeds to be sown with a bit of sand to facilitate even sowing. Firm 1/2" fine soil over seeds, keep moist until seedlings appear. Carrots take 14-21 days to germinate. Soak overnight in water to speed germination. When 1.5" high, thin to 1 - 2". Water weekly in dry weather. Make successive sowings every 3-5 weeks, depending on rate of carrot useage.
