Carrots
Direct seed in early spring thru mid-July into deep, loose, fertile soil. Sow seed 1 cm deep, 30 seeds per 30 cm in 5 cm bands spaced 40-60 cm apart. Keep evenly moist throughout the growing season. Carrots can take 1-3 weeks to germinate so make sure the soil doesn’t crust and become hard before the seedlings emerge. Thin seedlings to approx. 4 cm for full size carrots, closer spacing is adequate for baby carrots. Hill soil over shoulders to prevent greening.
