Gardener’s Tip

Sow thinly in light, well-drained, stone-free soil in a sunny position to encourage straight, even roots. Avoid transplanting, as carrots prefer to be sown directly where they will grow.

Thin seedlings early to prevent overcrowding and reduce the risk of carrot fly. Using fine mesh or fleece can help protect crops, especially during peak growing months. Water consistently to prevent splitting and ensure steady growth.
