Daucus carota var. sativus

A reliable, quick-maturing mix of rainbow colors, our favorite for spring! Tested for uniform growing speed and sizes. Well suited for both early spring and summer sowing. 

Carrots can be a little tricky, but there are a few tips and tricks to growing them well. Carrots like loose, aerated soil. To accomplish this we either plant in raised beds or rows worked deeply with a broadfork. Carrots are not heavy feeders and in fact too much nitrogen causes them to form deformed or hairy root structures. Seedlings can take a while to germinate. It's important to keep the soil from drying out prior to emergence. Finally, thin seedlings to 3/4–2" apart, depending on desired root size. 

Packet contains approximately 300 seeds.

How to Grow

Direct sow from early spring to midsummer, 3/4–1" apart, 1/4" deep, in a 2"-wide band. Thin seedlings to 3/4–2" apart, depending on desired root size. Plant carrots intended for winter storage about 100 days before expected fall frost.

Harvest

Harvest carrots once they reach the desired size. If harvested too late, roots may crack and/or taste may decline. Carrots store best at 32°F and 98% relative humidity.
