Planting & Care
Sow Tendersweet carrot seeds directly outdoors in early spring or fall, as carrots do not transplant well. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in loose, well-drained soil, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-21 days. Thin seedlings to allow proper root development.
Carrots require regular watering and benefit from a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which can cause forked roots. Harvest when roots reach desired size, usually 65-75 days after planting.
