Description
- About this item A colourful mixture of five varieties of baby carrots. Includes Atomic Red, Bambino Orange, Cosmic Purple, Lunar White and Solar Yellow to create perfect bunches of baby carrots Carrot Rainbow Blend is normally quite a low maintenance plant and is normally very easy to grow - great for beginner gardeners! Sow succession-ally January-July Mix the seeds with a handful of sharp sand and sow the seeds and sand together. Sand will also aid drainage. Sow seed 1.8cm (¾") deep in drills 23-30cm (9-12") apart. Thin seedlings when the first rough leaves appear, repeating as necessary until plants are 5-7.5cm (2-3") apart. Row 6m (20') or more. Sow thinly to minimise thinning (which can attract Carrot Root Fly). Avoid crushing the leaves as the scent attracts carrot root fly. Carrot seeds hate drying out and germinate slowly (14 to 21 days) so if you’r sowing seed in summer, a good way to keep them moist is to lay wet newspaper on top of the damp soil. Once the seedlings are showing their first rough leaves, thin out to 10cm apart which minimises competition and enables the carrots to grow quickly to harvest size.
