How to Grow Carrot Seeds
When you buy carrot seeds from Mr Fothergill's, you can sow them whenever you wish. Carrot seeds have a flexible growing period, although we would recommend avoiding sowing them in the hottest or coldest months of the year. When growing carrot seeds, ensure the soil is dug to a good depth and all stones are removed. Avoid overfertilising, as this can result in forked roots. As carrots are root vegetables, they are best sown directly into their final growing position to avoid damaging or deforming their taproot.
The Perfect Carrot Companion Plants
At Mr Fothergill’s, we have the perfect selection of companion seeds for you to grow alongside your carrot seeds, including lettuce seeds that, like carrots, loosen the soil as they grow, allowing for more nutrients to reach them. Radish seeds make a great companion plant due to their ability for pest control, being especially effective against cucumber beetles. Not all companion plants need to be other vegetables; Marigold seeds attract beneficial insects that control unwanted pests and can enhance the flavour of many vegetables whilst being very easy to grow and brightening up your veg patch.
