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. |
