Growing recommendations

Sow from early spring to midsummer, 3/4” apart , ¼” deep in rows 12-18” apart. Keep the surface of the soil moist – carrot seedlings are slow to emerge. Keep them weeded too. If necessary, thin young seedlings to ¾–2" apart, depending on type or root size desired.

This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.

The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
