Instructions - Do best in fertile sandy loam, but will perform well under most conditions if appropriate varieties are chosen. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 55-75°F. The best quality arises from raised beds, free of stones and debris. Imperator types should only be grown on raised beds that have 10-12” tilled zones. Harvest when carrots have appropriate coloring and flavor. Carrots hold well in the field for up to 3 weeks in the summer and longer in cool conditions. Store topped carrots in near-freezing temperatures with high humidity. Unwashed carrots store just as well as washed but may stain during storage.

• Direct seed as soon as soil can be worked in the Spring-Mid-Summer 
• Plant 1/4-1/2" deep 
• Thin to 1-2" depending on the desired size 
• Row Spacing: 18-24"
