Sow in early May for an early harvest, mid-June for an autumn harvest, or early July for tender young carrots. Plant the seeds 6 mm deep in rows 40 cm apart and thin to 5 cm between plants. Mound soil well around the plants to prevent sunburn and green discoloration at the base.

The 'Little Finger' carrot prefers rich, loose, and moist soil that has been worked deeply. Harvest when the roots are about 10 cm long to enjoy their tenderness and sweet flavor. Store them in a cool place to prolong their freshness.
