Carrots prefer loose, well-draining soil with a temperature between 45–85°F (optimal 60–70°F). Do not transplant — carrots do not like root disturbance. Thin seedlings to 2–3 inches apart for best root development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFind your frost dates and USDA hardiness zone at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/planthardiness.ars.usda.gov\"\u003eplanthardiness.ars.usda.gov\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSow seeds ¼ inch deep, 1 inch apart in rows 12 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep soil consistently moist until germination (10–17 days)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulch to retain moisture and keep roots cool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest at 70–75 days when shoulders are ¾–1 inch in diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll seeds are open-pollinated, non-GMO, and untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Heirloom Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Starter Pack of 10 seeds","offer_id":53805388136762,"sku":null,"price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Garden Pack of 25 seeds","offer_id":53805388169530,"sku":null,"price":2.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/7850\/9626\/files\/danvers-126-carrots-on-rustic-outdoor-table-with-raised-bed-backdrop.png?v=1785201160","url":"https:\/\/gardenheirloomseeds.com\/products\/danvers-126-heirloom-carrot-seeds","provider":"Garden Heirloom Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
