Plant seeds about 1\/4 inch deep in loose, stone-free soil to encourage straight root development. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which typically takes 14-21 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart once they are a few inches tall to allow proper root growth. Water regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week. 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\u003e500 Tendersweet Carrot seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739794407734,"sku":"EDNA-644","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7713218574_cxq2.jpg?v=1792116037","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/tendersweet-carrot-seeds-500-heirloom-seeds-for-extra-sweet-long-roots","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
