Growing tips

Sowing: cover seeds flat with soil, press well and keep moist, if the carrots are too dense after emergence, separate, germination temperature: 10-22°C/50-72°F, germination period: 14-21 days. Tip: carrots like it windy, because then the carrot fly can not lay their eggs. Care: always keep moist, carrots burst with different water supply, keep rows weed-free. Harvest: highest nutrient content in carrots is in the morning, but the lowest nitrate content in the afternoon should be the deciding factor for harvesting, if possible harvest after a few dry, sunny days.
