FAQs
When should I sow the seeds?

How deep should I plant the seeds?
Plant the seeds approximately 1.5cm (½”) deep.
How far apart should I space the rows?
Keep 30cm (1’) between rows.
How often should I water?
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.
When should I thin the seedlings?
Thin the seedlings when they are about 2-3 inches tall.
How do I store the carrots?
Remove the soil and store the carrots in dry sand in a cool, dark place.
Can I grow these in pots?
While these are best suited for gardens, they can be grown in deep containers with well-draining soil.
Troubleshooting

Ensure the soil is moist and the seeds are sown at the correct depth. Check that the seeds are still within their expiry date.
Carrots are small or stunted
Ensure carrots have sufficient space by thinning, and provide adequate water and nutrients.
