Sowing time: From March to August.

Sow directly into the ground:
- Sow in rows 1 cm deep and 20 cm apart in a well-prepared soil. Cover with sand or light soil.
- Thin out one month after growth, keeping one seedling every 3 cm.
- Thin out a second time, keeping one seedling every 7 to 8 cm.
- Hoe and weed regularly. Water frequently and generously in very weather
Care:
- Sow with radishes, this way you will have a double crop, and you will protect the carrots from pests like spider mite.
- Protect the crop with an anti-insect netting. The carrots like garlic, onion, or leek because they protect each other from pests like flies.
