Growing tips

Sowing time: Can be sown in cold frames from January and outdoors from March. Germination in 14-40 days (usually 3-4 weeks) at 10-18°C (from 3°C). Carrots are medium feeders and do not tolerate fresh manure. Only use mature compost as fertilizer. Carrots need to be kept moist during the germination period and often need additional watering on sandy soils during the hot summer months. Weeding is essential when the plants are young, as the tender seedlings are quickly overgrown by weeds. For good results, the soil should be loosened regularly. Especially after heavy rain, when it tends to silt up.
