Description
You can't sow and grow carrots all the year round - or not from one variety at least! And that is why we have carefully blended Earlies, Second Earlies, Maincrops, Late and Over-wintering varieties to produce this true all-year-round blend. We used to call this our 365 Day Carrot Mixture.
These can be sown pretty much any time of the year and will produce a crop. For those wanting to buy just one packet of carrot seed but to produce carrots throughout the year these are perfect.
- Sow February - April (under protection) or April to August outside in the open.
- Or sow October - early December (under protection) for young Easter carrots.
- Sow thinly in rows 12" (30 cm) apart. Sow in ½" (1 cm) deep drills.
- Thin out to 2" - 3" (5-7.5 cm) apart when large enough to handle - make sure you eat the thinnings!
Top Tips
- A useful tip to deter carrot fly is to water the rows with our BioFriend Plant-Defence when you thin or hoe your carrots - this will keep the fly away! And always remember to dispose of the thinnings away - left on the ground they attract carrot fly.
- As an alternative, always keep plants covered with insect netting.
- Carrots left in the open ground or stored in clamp beds should be covered with straw to protect from frost.
