PLANTING: The key to carrot production is advance soil preparation. If you do nothing else, work the soil to loosen and enrich. Incorporate compost or other organic matter such as core, well rotted manure, shredded leaf mulch. Loosen, and work soil to at least 12”. Remove all rocks, clods, garden trash and weeds.

Maintain an even soil moisture level at all times. Thin carefully to get the most uniformly sized carrots. When the plants have 7-10 leaves, cover with soil around crowns to prevent green shoulders.

Direct sow March through July. Carrot seedlings do not transplant well. Cover the seed with vermiculite or sifted compost.

To get long straight carrots, carefully space to 2” apart.
