Seed Count: 500

WHEN TO SOW

Late March to Early May

WHERE TO SOW

Sow thinly direct into the growing site 2cm (¾”) deep in rows 30cm (12″) apart. If possible, sow carefully so that thinning is not necessary.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

If you have to thin the seedlings, do so in the evening. Water before thinning and remove all the debris. Do not transplant. Aim for roots 5-7 cm (2-3″) apart. Young Carrots can be pulled alternately to ‘thin as you eat’.

MATURITY

Early July onwards

HANDY TIP

Do not grow Carrots in freshly manured ground as this may cause fangy roots.

NUTRITIONAL VALUES
