Sowing Information
Sow carrot seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½in) in drills 30cm (12″) apart. Germination will take 10 to 20 days. When large enough to handle, thin out the seedlings within each row to 5cm (2″) apart. Where space is limited, growing carrots in containers will also produce a worthwhile crop. Carrots dislike freshly manured soils so seed beds are best prepared in autumn, well in advance of spring sowings.
