Sow carrots anytime from early spring to mid-August,
1/4- 1/2" deep at about 2" apart. Sprinkle the soil surface with water
frequently to keep moist. Don't allow soil to get crusted before the
emergence of seedlings which take 1-3 weeks, depending on temperature
and moisture.
Carrots may be dug any time
after they reach a good orange color (bright, not pale), at which stage
their flavor and sweetness develops. Generally the best harvest period
lasts about 3 weeks (longer in cool, fall weather), after which time
the roots may crack or the taste and appearance may decline. Make a few
sowings at 3 week intervals for a continuous supply of tender carrots
at their prime.™ Cover the tops of the carrots with soil if needed to prevent them turning green and bitter from exposure.
