Growing Instructions:
Carrots will grow well in an open, well cultivated, deep garden soil. Once soil has warmed to 7°C (45°F), sow at 5 day intervals over several weeks. Keep seedbed evenly moist during the 2-3 week germination period. Cover the seedbed with burlap to prevent soil crusting, then remove it once sprouts emerge. Thin seedlings during early growth stages until they are 5cm (2in) apart. Keep the plants evenly watered and weed free. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers. Harvest after roots develop good colour.
