Carrot Seeds 'Nandor' F1

Carrots are a rewarding crop, producing sweet, crunchy roots perfect for salads, roasting, or snacking fresh from the soil. With varieties ranging from classic orange to purple and yellow, they’re versatile and colourful. Sow directly into light, well-draining soil free from stones for straight roots, or in deep containers on a sunny patio. Keep soil consistently moist for good germination and thin seedlings as they grow to allow space for strong roots.

Outdoor Sowing
Carrots dislike transplanting, so sow directly. Protect early sowings with fleece. Sow 1cm deep in shallow drills, sowing thinly to reduce thinning later, as thinning can attract carrot fly. Water regularly in dry spells. Thin seedlings to 5–8cm apart if required.

Companion Planting
Plant onions, leeks, or chives nearby to deter carrot fly. Lettuce and radishes make good companions, growing quickly and marking carrot rows. Avoid planting near dill or parsnips as they compete for space and nutrients.

Harvesting
Twist don’t tug! Grip tops close to the soil and twist gently to pull, avoiding breakage. Use a garden fork to ease them out if soil is firm.
