Plant seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in loose, stone-free soil, as carrots need fine soil to develop straight roots. Keep the seedbed consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to allow proper root development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during dry spells. Mulch around plants 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 65-75 days after sowing. Store harvested carrots in a cool, humid place or refrigerate for extended freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1000 Nantes Carrot Seeds (heirloom vegetable garden seeds).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795611943222,"sku":"FOLIA2-676","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7144866471_f8dk.jpg?v=1792671949","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/nantes-carrot-seeds-1000-heirloom-vegetable-garden-seeds-for-planting","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
