Product Details
Unwins Carrot Early Scarlet Horn Seeds are an old favourite. Worth growing for their small, tasty conical carrots, these short carrots are quick to grow and are harvested early in the year to start off your carrot harvesting season.
Perfect for growing in pots, even gardeners with only a small outdoor space can grow these carrots.
Harvest: May to Sep
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.
