General Cultivation 
With P.M.Gs. you can have carrots the year round. 
Starting in January, sowings should be made in February, 
March, August, September and October. Draw out drills . 
1 inch deep, arranging four rows under P.M.Gs., 6 or 8 inches 
apart. To ensure thin sowing mix equal quantity of sand 
with seed. | 
A row of carrots goes well between two rows of lettuce or 
two rows of carrots on either side of a row of lettuce. 
Sow thinly so that no thinning need be done. Carrots need 
plenty of water. P.M.Gs. may be removed if necessary and 
the ground well watered between the rows and the P.M.Gs. 
put back for the night.
