How to Grow:
Carrots thrive in loose, deep, well-drained soil. Mix seeds with sand for even sowing. Once soil temperatures exceed 7.5°C, sow seeds 7–15 mm deep in rows spaced 45–60 cm apart. Sow every 5 days for staggered harvests. Keep the seedbed consistently moist during germination, which takes about 2 weeks. Thin seedlings to 5 cm apart for optimal root growth. Water regularly, weed carefully, and avoid nitrogen-rich fertilizers. Harvest when carrots have developed vibrant colors and ideal sizes.
'Rainbow Blend' carrots are a wonderful addition to gardens, offering a delightful range of colors and sweet, crunchy flavors.
