Growing tips

Do not sow too early, as purple carrots are generally more susceptible to bolting. Carrots like loose soils that are not prone to siltation. If the soil is heavy, it is better to grow on embankments. Since carrots take a long time to germinate, we recommend mixing the seed with radishes. This way the seed rows are marked and by harvesting the faster radishes you automatically thin out the carrots. Carrots sown too densely must be thinned out.
