Gardener’s Tip

Sow directly into light, stone-free soil in a sunny position from spring to early summer. Avoid heavy or compacted soils, as these can cause roots to fork.

Thin seedlings early to allow proper spacing and reduce competition. Regular watering helps prevent woody roots, especially during dry spells. For best results, keep beds weed-free and consider using mesh to protect against carrot fly.
