Sow and Grow:
Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5 cm (1/2-inch) deep directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30 cm (1 feet) between rows.
Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on. Water well until plants are established.
Regular sowings made every three weeks will ensure a continuous supply of young roots.
Roots can be lifted in autumn. Remove soil and store in dry sand.
