Growing tips

Sowing for fresh consumption March to May, harvest mid-June to August. Sowing for storage carrots June to early July, harvest mid-September to October. Sow sufficiently early, but not too densely; separate if necessary. Germination period 12-20 days at 5-20°C. Loosen soil well and water regularly. Mounding helps against carrot fly. Good neighbors in mixed culture are dill, barley, cress, corn, leek, radish, lettuce, marigold and onion.
