Growing tips

Habitat: Sun, loose, light, humic, not freshly fertilized soil and in a free, airy location. Cover the seed flat with soil, press well and keep moist. Germination period 14-28 days at 6-22°C. If the carrots are too dense after emergence, it is worthwhile to pull or separate them to obtain a good quality. Always keep moist (carrots will otherwise burst due to a different water supply), keep rows weed-free. To prevent carrot fly infestation, it is recommended to cover the beds with special crop protection nets from the beginning of May, or to sow carrots in mixed culture with onions or savory. Harvest: carrots highest nutrient content in the morning, but the lowest nitrate content in the afternoon should be the rash for harvesting, if possible harvest after a few dry, sunny days.
