Planting & Care
Sow Solar Yellow Carrot seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in prepared, stone-free soil, and keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to allow proper root development.
Carrots require regular watering, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogged soil. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest when roots reach desired size, typically 65-75 days after sowing. For best flavor, harvest before the ground freezes in fall.
