Carrot — All Seasons seeds
All Seasons Carrots are a popular, 'store-bought' variety of carrot with a bright-orange skin and a reddish core. All Seasons Carrots are easy to grow, resistant to disease, and high in vitamin A and carotene. Carrots are crunchy, full of flavour and can grow to 20cm in the right conditions. All Seasons Carrots are best grown in full sun but they can handle partial-shade. Ensure your soil is loose and sandy, and carrots are not over-crowded to grow aesthetic long, straight produce. Don't forget, the green carrot tops are edible too! Try carrot greens out in pesto, chimichurri, or sauté like you would kale or pak choi.
UNTREATED. OPEN-POLLINATED. HEIRLOOM.

Sow seeds direct into a garden bed or pot approximately 4mm deep. If you prefer, seeds can be sown into a drill and soil can be sprinkled lightly over the seeds (make sure you don't pack the soil down tight!). Keep the soil moist ensuring that it doesn't dry out. When sowing direct, ensure carrot seeds are sown 5cm apart. If sprinkling seeds, thin sprouts so they are 5cm apart. Leave approximately 25 to 30cm between rows of All Seasons Carrots. Germination occurs within 10 to 20 days. Seeds can be sown in a range of temperatures, but for best results sow when the temperature is between 10 to 30°C. All Seasons Carrots reach full maturity within 70 to 120 days.
All Seasons Carrots can be sown in... you guessed it — all seasons*! It is, however, best to sow All Seasons Carrots during periods that are not extremely hot or cold.
*Sowing times may vary depending on your climate. See our planting guide for All Seasons Carrots below.
