Sowing Instructions

Carrots prefer a deep, rich well drained soil which does not contain fresh manure or compost. Sow seeds spring to mid summer in drills 1cm (½in) deep, spaced 30cm (12in) apart.

Growing Instructions

As soon as the seedlings are large enough to handle, start thinning them out so that they are finally 10cm (4in) apart.

Grow Spring Onion White Lisbon next to carrots as the smell helps deter Carrot Fly.

Aftercare

The last thinnings should provide tender roots just large enough to be used. Harvest late summer and autumn. The roots can be lifted and stored between layers of peat or sand in a frost-free place for winter use.
