CARROTS — From January to December 
Carrots require only average simple care 
and have no serious insect or disease 
pests. Sandy loam is the best soil type, 
however, almost any soil that is thoroughly 
and deeply worked will produce a good 
crop. Plant seed in rows 16 to 18 inches 
apart and cover one-half to one inch, press- 
ing the soil down firmly. February is a 
good month to sow for the spring crop, 
and August for the fall crop. However, an 
almost continuous crop may be harvested 
by sowing seed at 4 to 6 weeks intervals 
throughout the year. ;
