CARROTS

For an exceptionally early crop in spring, sow your carrot seeds directly outside in rows through November and December to grow on under cloches. Sowing carrots near your winter onions and garlic will mask their sweet scent and deter carrot fly from your crop! Remember to thin your seedlings to encourage a harvest with bigger roots. ‘Adelaide’ is a fast-maturing variety, producing a deliciously crunchy and sweet crop.
