Sowing period: From January, it can be sown in the hotbed and outdoors from March
Sowing depth: 1-2.5cm
Ideal germination temperature: From +3°C
Germination duration: Carrots need very long, 21-27 days on average. Therefore, it's recommended to mix the seeds either with radish seeds or with dill seeds. Both germinates clearly faster and, thereby, marks the row so that the care of the seeds is made easier. By harvesting the radish, which is ripe earlier, the rows are automatically thinned out. The dill should also be removed when it has reached a height of approx. 25cm.
Row spacing: 30-45cm
Planting distance: 3-5cm
Location: Sunny
Soil: Sandy-loamy, deep, loose, and stone-free soil. This variety prospers very well in loamy soils.
Care: Carrots are moderate feeders and don't tolerate fresh dung. Only use ripe compost for fertilizing. Carrots want to be kept moist during the germination period and often need supplementary watering on sandy soils during the hot summer months. Weeding the plantlets is necessary as the tender plants are easily overgrown by weed. For good results, the soil should be regularly loosened. Especially after strong rain when it tends to sludge.
Harvest: Mostly from May to July. There's no clear sign for ripeness.
Family: Umbellifers (Apiaceae)
