Seed qty (approx)	500
Sowing months	February, March, April, May, June, July, August
Site conditions	Sandy soil free from stones is ideal. Don't grow on ground that has been manured in the last year as it causes forking. A sunny spot is perfect.
How to sow	Sow thinly, directly into a pre-watered drill 1.5cm deep. Aim for a seed every 2.5cm to avoid the need for too much thinning and sow in rows 15cm apart. If you do need to thin do it at night when the carrot-fly is not around. Lightly cover the seed with fine soil. Seedlings should appear at about 17 days. If grown in containers just sprinkle seed thinly over surface of compost & cover with fine sieved compost, gently firm & water.
Care	Water at night and keep watered in dry periods. Try not to weed especially during the day as it may attract carrot-fly.
Harvest	July to October. Lift all remaining roots by October, remove soil from the roots and store in dry sand but do not allow the carrots to touch each other as it can cause rotting.
