Plant seeds 1\/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to allow proper root development. Carrots thrive in loose, stone-free soil to prevent forking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as this can cause hairy roots. Harvest when roots are 6-8 inches long and about 1 inch in diameter. For best flavor, harvest before the ground freezes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1000 Cosmic Purple Carrot seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795611255094,"sku":"FOLIA2-674","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7144882481_csno.jpg?v=1792671946","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1000-cosmic-purple-carrot-seeds-heirloom-vegetable-garden-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
