Planting & Care

Sow Tendersweet Carrot seeds directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of at least 8-10 inches and removing stones or clumps. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to 2-3 inches apart to allow proper root development.

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, typically 75-80 days after sowing. Tendersweet Carrots store well in cool, humid conditions.
