Planting & Care

Direct sow Bolero carrot seeds outdoors in early spring, about 2–4 weeks before the last frost date, or in late summer for a fall crop. Prepare a fine, loose seedbed free of rocks and clods to allow straight root development. Sow seeds thinly and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10–20 days. Once seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin them to 2–3 inches apart to give roots room to grow.

Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which can cause forked or hairy roots. Harvest when roots reach desired size, usually 70–80 days after sowing. Bolero carrots can be left in the ground for extended harvest or stored in cool, humid conditions.
