Technical specifications
| Approx. Seed count | 2000 seeds |
| When to Sow | April to July |
| Where to Sow | Sow seeds thinly and directly into the growing site. Take care to sow with precision to minimize the need for thinning later on. |
| What to do Next | Carrot fly is drawn to the scent released during thinning. If thinning is necessary, carry it out in the evening. Water the area beforehand and ensure all debris is cleared to avoid attracting pests. Avoid transplanting seedlings. For best results, aim to space roots evenly apart. Alternatively, enjoy pulling young carrots as needed, thinning them as you harvest. |
