Coverage & Planting Details
| Coverage | This packet sows up to 32 feet. |
|---|---|
| Row Spacing | 6" |
| Seed Depth | ¼" |
| Seed Spacing | 1" |
| Thinning | When 1" tall, thin to 1 every 2" |
| Germination | 10–25 days |
| Start Indoors | Not recommended; root disturbance stunts growth. |
| Direct Sow | RECOMMENDED. 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, and when soil temperature is at least 45°F, ideally 60°–85°F. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until 10 to 12 weeks before your average first fall frost date. In very warm climates, carrots are grown primarily in fall, winter, and spring. |
| Growing & Harvesting | For best flavor and texture, harvest carrots any time before, and until they reach their optimal size. Peak harvest period lasts about 3 weeks, longer in the fall. Late summer-sown carrots are sweetened after having been kissed by light frost; however, harvest before soil freezes, which may destroy the crop. In USDA zone 5 or warmer, carrots can be left in the ground for storage provided they are heavily mulched; harvest as needed on days the ground is not frozen. |

- Sandra D.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars7/5/26Unfortunately, an animal ate them
We planted the seeds but unfortunately, an animal scavenged the vegetable garden so no chance chance for carrots this year.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests7/14/26Hey Sandra,
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that an animal got to your Little Finger Carrot seeds before they had a chance to grow. There's nothing more frustrating than putting in the effort to plant your garden only to have wildlife beat you to the harvest.
While this wasn't an issue with the seeds themselves, we completely understand how disappointing this must be. Many gardeners face similar challenges with critters in their vegetable gardens. Your feedback helps us understand the full gardening experience our customers go through.
We hope you'll have better luck protecting your garden next season and get to enjoy those sweet Little Finger carrots! Keep on growing 🌻️
