When to Sow Sweet Candle Carrot Seeds

April to June

Where to Sow

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

What to do next

If you have to thin the seedlings, do so in the evening. Water before thinning and remove all the debris. Do not transplant carrots. Aim for roots 5-7cm (2-3") apart. Young Carrots can always be pulled alternately to 'thin as you eat'.

Maturity

July to November

Handy Tip

A good variety for exhibition use. Try making holes with a bar, filling with sandy compost and sowing seeds at each station for large specimen carrots.

Nutritional Values

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