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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarrots require regular watering and benefit from a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as this can cause forked or hairy roots. Harvest when roots reach desired size, usually 70-80 days after sowing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1000 Imperator Carrot Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795612369206,"sku":"FOLIA2-677","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7096354508_fic7.jpg?v=1792671950","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1000-imperator-carrot-seeds-sweet-garden-carrots-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
