Suggestions Chevron Forward

Too much water can cause carrots to crack. They should be kept weeded (a clean mulch can reduce this job). Also, lightly place soil over exposed roots to prevent cracking.

Customer

"Bought these seeds and was the best crop of carrots I've ever grown. They measured between 10 and 121/2 inches long and my neighbors were amazed. I planted them 2-3 inches apart and they sure grew to be a good crop. Will reorder in the Future!!"
