🌱 Tips for Success

  • Use loose, deep soil so carrots can grow straight and long.
  • Do not compact the soil — roots need room to expand.
  • Thin seedlings once they reach 2 inches tall to prevent crowding.
  • Harvest when tops begin to peek above the soil for the sweetest flavor.

💧 Watering Tip

Carrots need consistent moisture, especially during root formation. Avoid letting soil dry out completely.

🌼 Fun Fact

Carrots were originally purple or yellow before orange varieties became popular in Europe during the 17th century!
