Premium Baby Amsterdam Heirloom Carrot Seeds for Garden Lovers

How to grow: Carrots are best sown directly where they are to grow, as they dislike being transplanted. Choose a sunny spot with light, loose, well-drained soil free of stones, which helps the roots grow long and straight. Avoid freshly manured beds, as rich soil causes forked roots. Sow seeds thinly about 1 cm deep, keep the soil moist, and be patient, as carrots can take two to three weeks to germinate. Once seedlings appear, thin them to around 5 cm apart so the roots have room to develop. Keep them evenly watered and weed-free. Baby Amsterdam is quick to mature and can be pulled young and tender. Good companions include radish, lettuce and onion, whose scent helps deter carrot pests.
