Carrot Early Market

Additional Details

When to Sow Early Market Carrot Seeds

April to July.

Where to Sow

Sow thinly direct into the growing site 2cm deep in rows 30cm apart. If possible, sow carefully so that thinning is not necessary. Can also be sown February to March in a greenhouse or under cloches.

What to do next

If you have to thin the seedlings, do so in the evening. Water before thinning and remove all debris. Do not transplant. Aim for roots 4-6cm apart. Young carrots can be pulled alternately to 'thin as you eat'.

Maturity

June to November

Handy Tip

The large wedge shaped roots from late sowings store well in a frost free shed.
Perfect variety for growing in shallow tubs and troughs.
