PLANTING INSTRUCTIONSPlan to plant seeds outdoors as the weather starts to cool down but before the onset of winters.Plant seeds ½ inch deep.After germination thin carrot seedlings (when they’re 2-3 inches tall) to about 2 – 3 inches apart.For potting, choose 10-inch deep and as wide as possible containers.Choose a location that is sunny.GROWING REQUIREMENTSWATERINGWater regularly and evenly to keep the soil slightly moist and never allow the soil to dry out completely.Avoid waterlogging the pots.PESTSWeeds, pests, and diseases effect the growth of carrots on the ground but rarely in containers. Carrot flies fly close to the ground and can be prevented by creating barriers or lifting the container off the ground. Aphids (plant lice) and flea beetles are common pests that can disturb the foliage growth but can be easily controlled by natural ways.SOILThe ideal soil is deep,sandy and well-drained so that the carrots can push through and are not forked or send out small side roots.Ideal pH range from 6 to 7. If you want to make a soilless mix, add 1 part coco peat,1 part well-rotted manure, and 1 part vermicompost or sand.SPOTTo encourage root growth,use a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen but high in phosphorous and potassiumTEMPERATURECarrots best germinate and grow when the temperature is between (15 – 25 C). Carrot seeds usually germinate in the time-frame of 1-3 weeks.If you’re growing carrots in pots, you can try to adjust the temperature a bit by moving the containers to shade if the weather is warm and in more sun if the weather is too cold.HOW TO HARVESTHarvesting time may vary from 60 – 110 days depending on the carrot type, climate and growing conditions. Before picking, see whether your carrots have reached the desired size or not by uprooting a couple of plants.You may leave mature carrots in the soil for few extra days for storage if the soil does not get block.To store freshly harvested carrots, twist off the tops, scrub off the dirt under cold running water, let dry and seal in airtight plastic bags, and refrigerate.
