SOWING: Seed directly into vegetable garden from as soon as soil is workable. Cover seeds with 1/8 inch soil.
THINNING: When plants are 2-4 inches tall, thin to 2 to 3 inches apart.
SPACING: Rows can be spaced 15-18 inches apart, or much closer if limited for space. In beds space 2-4 inches apart in all directions.
GERMINATION: Two weeks in temperatures of 60 degrees. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
Ed’s Special Advice: Plant at 2 or 3 week intervals for continual harvest. Planting can continue until July. Carrots grow best in a sunny location with rich, light soil and regular thorough watering. For best results fertilize and cultivate soil to a depth of 6 to 8 inches prior to planting. Approximately 500 seeds per packet.
SEED SAVING: Carrots flower and seed in their second year of growth. After flowering, allow greens to brown, then cut from plant and hang to completely dry, up to two weeks. Strip seeds from flower heads and store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place.
