Planting & Growing: Direct sow in loose, deeply worked, well-drained soil. Keep the seedbed evenly moist during germination, then thin seedlings to 3 inches apart. Sow about 2 weeks before the last expected frost and repeat at intervals if conditions allow. In very hot or freezing weather, adjust planting dates for the local climate. See our Carrot Growing Guide for more detail.

Harvest & Storage: Harvest when roots reach the desired size. Remove the foliage before storage and keep unwashed roots in cool, humid conditions. In suitable winter climates, carrots may also be held in the ground beneath a protective mulch.
