When to Sow Vita Longa Carrot Seeds

April to July

Where to Sow

Sow carrot seeds thinly, so that they won't need to be thinned out later on. Sow seeds direct into the growing site 2cm (¾") deep, in rows at 30cm (12") apart.

What to do next

Carrot fly is attracted by the smell whilst thinning, which is why its best to avoid the need to do this. If you have to thin the seedlings, do so in the evening. Water before thinning and remove all the debris. Do not transplant. Aim for roots 5-7cm (2-3") apart. Young Carrots can always be pulled alternately to 'thin as you eat'.

Maturity

June to November

Handy Tip

Never grow carrots on ground that has recently had manure spread, as the roots will fork in search of goodness.

Nutritional Values

High in antioxidant beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A in the body.
