Planting & Care

Sow Danvers carrot seeds directly in the garden 2-4 weeks before the last frost date, or in late summer for a fall crop. 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 proper root development. Carrots prefer loose, stone-free soil to grow straight roots. Keep weeds under control and water regularly, especially during dry spells. Mulching can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Harvest carrots when they reach desired size, usually 70-80 days after planting. Loosen the soil around the roots before pulling to avoid breaking them. Store harvested carrots in a cool, humid place or refrigerate for extended freshness.
