Planting Tips for Success
- Sunlight: Full sun required — 6 to 8 hours daily for best root development and sweetness.
- Soil: Loose, well-drained, rock-free soil with a pH of 6.0–6.8. Remove clumps and stones to prevent forked or stunted roots.
- Planting: Direct sow seeds ¼ inch deep, 2–3 inches apart, in rows 12–18 inches apart. Sow 2–4 weeks before last frost in spring, or 10–12 weeks before first frost in fall.
- Thinning: Thin to 3–4 inches apart once seedlings reach 2 inches tall. Crowded carrots produce small, misshapen roots.
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during germination (14–21 days). Once established, water deeply once or twice a week.
- Fertilizing: Use a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer to encourage root growth. Excess nitrogen promotes leafy tops at the expense of roots.
- Pest Management: Watch for carrot fly and aphids. Row covers help deter pests. Rotate crops annually.
- Harvesting: Ready in approximately 65 days when roots reach 6–8 inches. A light frost actually sweetens carrot flavor!
