New!65 days. Gorgeous reddish pink throughout with hints of orange, this 10"-long Carrot is tasty, too, perfect for your favorite little princess's snack time, or for gorgeous juice. Its strong tops make harvesting easy. (OP.)
Coaxing Up Carrots Carrots, like Parsley, Dill and other Umbelliferae, can be difficult to germinate when direct-sown outdoors. To speed things up, be sure you keep the seed bed continually moist until the sprouts emerge.
Carrot Sowing Instructions
Planting Depth: 1⁄4" Row Spacing: 12" Seed Spacing: 1"-2" Days to Germination: 14-21 days Germination Temperature: 45°-85°F
Carrots grow best in moderately fertile, sandy and
well-draining soil. Sow seed thinly in rows when
the soil has warmed to 45°F, usually as soon as the
soil can be worked in the spring. Or, mix the seed
with fine sand for easier seed distribution. Barely
cover with fine soil, tamp down lightly and water
with a fine spray. Your challenge: to keep the seed
in place while keeping the surface soil from drying
and crusting!
Until seeds germinate, keep the soil moist with
frequent, light water sprinklings. The first thinning
should be 1" to 2" apart. Later on, thin as desired
depending on the variety. Frequent finicky weeding
and watering until the seedlings take hold will pay
off in a juicy, luscious Carrot crop. Carrots are at
their sweetest when small, so harvest by gently
pulling them out while holding the base of the
greens.
