Carrot Planting Information:

Carrots prefer cool, wet weather to grow in. Plant the seeds directly in the garden where the soil is finely tilled. Wet the soil before planting. Planting should take place 25 days before the last frost, or in late summer and autumn for winter and spring crops. You can have several succession plantings up until midsummer when it is too hot to grow carrots. Plants grow 12" tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires loose, fertile, sandy soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Keep the soil moist to ensure germination. Water well during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Pull carrots when they are mature and full color. You can leave carrots in the ground over winter by cutting off the green tops and covering them with mulch.

Excellent carrot! 'Even does well in rocky Granite State soil! I have been growing Tendersweet for three years with very good results. There will be a couple rows in this years garden. "Real carrot" flavor, unlike those "horse carrots" from the Supermarket.
