Sowing Outdoors
Sow thinly, 1 cm deep, in shallow, pre-watered drills in soil that hasn't been manured in the last 12 months. Keep soil moist at all times. Protect early sowings with cloche or fleece.

Thinning
Thin seedlings to 5-8 cm apart. Avoid crushing the leaves, as their scent attracts carrot root fly.

Aftercare
Carrots do best on light, stone-free, fertile soils. Use fleece to protect against low-flying carrot root fly. Roots store well if cleaned and packed in boxes of dry sand or compost.
