Sowing Information
Sow direct Mar-July. Choose a sunny spot in the garden with weed-free soil. Dig and rake the soil to a fine crumbly surface. Using the corner of a hoe or rake, draw a groove into pre-watered soil. Roll out the tape along the groove, cutting to length if necessary. If growing more than one row, allow 30cm (12in) between rows. Cover with soil and keep moist. Thin the seedlings if necessary to 5cm (2in) apart. For a constant supply of carrots, sow at fortnightly intervals.
