When to Sow Oxheart Carrot Seeds

Sow April to July

Harvest

June to November

Where to Sow

Sow thinly direct into the growing site 2cm (¾") deep in rows 30cm (12") apart. If possible, sow carefully so that thinning is not necessary.

What to do Next

Carrot fly is attracted by the smell whilst thinning, 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'.

Handy Tip

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