Planting and Care Instructions
Sow: Prepare soil 3 weeks before last expected spring frost or when the soil reaches 55 F. Build up a raised mound in the row, about 8" wide; sow the seeds on it, and cover with 1/4" very loose soil. Keep soil moist, but do not allow area above the seeds to become hard, as this may prevent germination. Sow more seeds every 3-6 weeks for a continuous crop. Grow: When seedlings reach 2" tall, gently thin to 2" to 4" apart, the farther apart they are, the bigger they will grow. Do not allow the soil to dry out. When tops of carrots begin to emerge, cover with mulch. Keep weeds down to prevent stunted carrots.
