Key Features:
- Polychromatic Variety: Grow purple, white, red, and orange carrots for a stunning visual and taste experience.
- Hybrid and Open-Pollinated Seeds: Blend of popular carrot varieties for diverse garden production.
- Quick Maturity: Harvest in 75-110 days from sowing, ensuring a bountiful supply throughout the growing season.
- Kid-Friendly: The exciting mix of colors makes gardening fun and engaging for children.
Growing Instructions:
- Season & Zone: Best grown in cool seasons with full sun exposure.
- Timing: Direct sow from just after the last frost date to late summer for continuous harvests. For winter-harvest carrots in mild climates, sow in the first two weeks of August.
- Starting: Due to their small size, sow carrot seeds shallowly. Direct sow 5mm (¼”) deep, 4 seeds per 2cm (1″), and firm the soil lightly after seeding. Water gently and keep the soil consistently moist until seeds sprout in 14-21 days.
Growing Tips:
- Soil Requirements: Carrots thrive in soft, humus-rich soil with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Work soil to a fine texture and avoid fresh manure to prevent misshapen roots.
- Thinning: Thin seedlings to 4-10cm (1½-4″) apart when they reach 2cm (1″) tall to avoid competition and promote healthy growth.
- Watering: Keep carrots well-watered and free of weeds. Hill soil around carrots as they grow to prevent green shoulders.
Harvesting:
- Optimal Harvest: Carrots can be harvested at any size, but their flavor is best when fully mature and brightly colored. Store harvested carrots at cold temperatures just above 0ºC or leave them in the garden under heaped soil during winter.
Pests & Diseases:
- Carrot Rust Fly: Use floating row covers to protect against rust fly infestations. Planting after June helps avoid the worst infestation periods.
- Wireworm: Ensure well-drained soil and interplant with mustard to deter wireworms. Predatory nematodes can effectively control both carrot rust fly and wireworms.
Companion Planting:
- Beneficial Companions: Plant with beans, Brassicas, chives, leeks, lettuce, onions, peas, peppers, radish, rosemary, sage, and tomatoes. Avoid planting near dill, parsnips, and potatoes. Carrots near tomatoes may have stunted roots but will have exceptional flavor.
