PLANTING
Daucus carota
Germination:6-14 days
Germination Temperature:Optimum soil temperatures are 60-85F.The cooler the soil the longer it takes for germination, up to 3 weeks.
Seed Sowing Depth:1/4 deep
Sowing Outdoors:Start 3 weeks before the last frost into mid-summer. Sow lightly, thin to 1-3 apart. The larger the carrot variety, the more space is needed between them. The soil moisture should be maintained regularly until germination; letting the soil dry out during this period may result in lower germination.
How much does a packet plant:10-12 foot row
Harvest:Start when carrots reach finger size for baby carrots. Carrots planted for summer harvest will hold in the ground for a few weeksandtend to split if they stay in the ground for too long. Late-season carrots hold longer and become sweeter in the cooler weather.
Tips:Using a row cover helps to maintain moisture for germination. The Culinary Blend Carrot prefers loose soil, free of rubble. Use the shorter varieties for heavy soils. Keep well-weeded and cover any exposed carrot with soil or mulch to prevent greening. An excess of nitrogen in the soil causes the roots to become hairy.
