CARROTS 
Sow late April through June, Y2 oz. to 100 ft. row. 
Carrots develop roots quickly in deep, well prepared fine soil that does not bake hard or crust. Make 
first sowing in late April spacing seed quite thickly, and covering “% to % inch deep. Thin out to stand 
2 to 2Y2 inches apart. As carrots are best when still small make several sowings. 
IF your soil is heavy, grow shorter root varieties, the long slim ones for deep loose soil.
