Sowing & growing

Mar-Jul, sow directly where they are to crop. Sow finely 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Soil should be fertile, light and free of weeds and stones. Water soil before sowing seed. When seedlings appear, gradually thin out to 5cm apart. Harvest Aug-Dec

Aftercare

To discourage attack from Carrot fly, keep covered with fine netting and keep area clear of thinned seedlings. Earth-up as roots grow to prevent green crowns forming.
