What you get

One plain paper packet marked 101, holding two grams of seed harvested in 2016 and tested in January at 88 in every hundred. That is enough for a row of about nine metres.

How to sow it

Carrots are sown where they are to grow. They do not move well and they do not like fresh manure.

  • Under a cloche from late February, in the open from the end of March.
  • In drills a finger deep and a hand apart.
  • Thin to a thumb's width once the first true leaf shows.

When it is ready

Ten to twelve weeks after sowing. Pull the largest first and leave the rest to fill out.
