Plant seeds 1\/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to allow roots to develop properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarrots require even moisture and loose, stone-free soil for straight, well-formed roots. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which can cause forked or hairy roots. Harvest when roots reach desired size, typically 65-75 days after sowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1000 Chantenay Carrot Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795611713846,"sku":"FOLIA2-675","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7144875131_ifqe.jpg?v=1792671948","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1000-chantenay-carrot-seeds-heirloom-vegetable-garden","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
