Growing Kuroda Carrot
- For a summer harvest, sow the carrot seeds outdoors 3 to 5 weeks before the last spring frost date.
- For an autumn harvest, sow the carrot seeds in mid- to late summer.
- Carrots need a location that receives full sunlight, though they can tolerate partial shade, too. Plant growth is optimal between temperatures of 15°C to 20°C.
- The best soil for carrots is deep sandy loam or loamy soils with a loose structure. If your ground soil is heavy clay or too rocky, you should consider planting carrots in a raised bed.
- Sow the Nantes Carrot seed directly in the beds.
- Make small furrows 1cm deep and about 20cm to 30cm apart.
- Sow the seeds about 2cm apart in the furrows.
- Water the beds well after sowing.
- Germination takes about seven to 14 days.
- Water the carrot plants at least one inch per week, then two inches as roots mature.
