Growing Information

Planting

  • Sow seeds directly into loose, deeply worked soil to encourage long, straight root growth.
  • Plant in rows and cover lightly, as carrot seeds require shallow planting for successful germination.
  • Maintain steady moisture during the germination period, which may take up to two weeks.
  • Provide full sun to support strong top growth and healthy root formation.
  • Space seeds thinly and plan to thin seedlings once they reach a few inches tall to prevent overcrowding.
  • Avoid compacted or rocky soil to reduce the risk of misshapen roots.

Maintenance

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to promote even root development.
  • Water deeply during dry spells to prevent cracking and maintain tender texture.
  • Thin seedlings early to ensure proper spacing and allow roots to reach their full length.
  • Mulch around plants to maintain soil moisture and moderate temperature.
  • Monitor weeds regularly, removing them carefully to avoid disturbing the shallow root system.

Harvest & Storage

  • Carrots reach maturity in about 70–75 days and should be harvested when roots are fully colored and around 9–10 inches long.
  • Harvest by loosening the soil and gently pulling to avoid damaging the smooth, coreless roots.
  • Allow carrots to dry briefly in shade before storing to prevent excess moisture from causing rot.
  • Store unwashed roots in a cool, humid environment such as a root cellar or refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • Trim the greens to one inch before storage to extend shelf life.
