Planting & Harvesting
Seed Depth: 1/4″ (6mm)

Sow outdoors in very early spring. Prefers full sun and loose, evenly moist soil amended with plenty of organic matter. Before planting, loosen the soil to a depth of 5-6″ to help the roots grow straight. Be patient! Carrots can be slow to germinate.
For best flavor harvest these carrots when the roots are “little finger” size.
