Description

Growing tips

Germination period 15-30 days at 10-25°C/50-77°F. Water evenly, carrots can burst if the water supply is too variable. To prevent infestation with carrot flies, cover beds with special crop protection nets from the beginning of May, or sow carrots in mixed culture with onions or savory. Habitat: Sun, loose, light, humusy, not freshly fertilized soil. Sowing depth: 1-2 cm/0.4-0.8 in, planting distance between 4-8 cm/1.6-3.1 in (separate if necessary). Keep rows weed-free. Highest nutrient content in the morning, lowest nitrate content in the afternoon important for timing of harvest, harvest after a few dry, sunny days if possible. Observe crop rotation.
