Mr Fothergills Carrot Seeds

Support hands-on learning in science lessons with these carrot seeds, ideal for teaching pupils about plant life cycles and healthy eating. Suitable for primary classrooms, these seeds allow children to observe, grow, and harvest their own carrots, linking directly to the Plants & Growing curriculum area.

Easily sown direct in the garden. 

Sow little and often for a continuous crop.

Sow & Grow:

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-June, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½") deep, directly into finely-prepared, light, fertile soil, which has already been watered.

Allow 30cm (1') between rows. Early sowings may benefit cloche protection.

Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin by harvesting young carrots evenly from the row, allowing remainder to grow on.

Water well until plants are established.

Harvest: June-October. Roots can be lifted in autumn.

Remove soil and store in dry sand.
