How To Grow Sowing:  Plant your seeds 2 inches apart and ⅛ to ¼ inch deep. Keep the soil moist, but do not allow the area above the seeds to become hard - this may prevent the seeds from germinating. Sow more seeds every 3-6 weeks for a continuous crop. When thinning, cut plants down. Don’t pull up the excess carrots or it may damage root systems of neighboring carrots. Growing:  When the seedlings reach 2" high, gently thin them to 2-4" apart, depending on desired carrot size. The farther apart they are, the bigger they will grow. Do not allow the soil to dry out. When the tops of the carrots begin to emerge from the soil, cover them with mulch to keep them tender
