SOW CROP CARROTS

YOU can sow carrots almost all year round, but between late May and the middle of June is perfect for main crop carrots. Those will be ready from mid-to-late autumn. Then, the mature vegetables will be safe in the ground, even if left until Christmas. Late sowing can avoid carrot fly attacks — from the last week in May, chances of infestation are reduced. Carrots need well-prepared, crumbly tilth. Sow your seeds sparsely, so thinning out will be unnecessary.
