How to Grow & Harvest

Sowing & Timing

Direct sow Rainbow Carrot seeds, since seedlings don't like being transplanted. Plant the Rainbow Blend Carrot seeds half an inch deep when the soil temperature has reached 55–75°F, placing the seeds 1-2 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches wide. Blend the seeds with some dry sand prior to sowing to make the process easier.

Soil, Watering & Fertilization

Rainbow mix Carrot seeds require six or more hours of full sun. Fewer than that will result in leggy tops and poor root development. Carrots have a tendency to grow poorly in clay soil. This type of soil produces forked and deformed Carrots because their tips will hit resistance as they try to grow. Carrots grow well in loose sandy loam soil that has a pH range of 6.0-7.0. Stones should be removed from the soil prior to planting Carrots.

Growth & Harvest

Space plants 2-3 inches apart when they are about 2 inches tall. It’s hard to do it but overcrowded plants give thin roots. Some low-nitrogen fertilizer during the middle of the season helps root formation without making excessive foliage. Rainbow Carrot seeds and further plants are fairly drought-resistant when mature but consistent moisture gives you the sweet, tender flesh the blend is known for. You can harvest vegetables between 65-75 days after planting.
