Planting and Growing Instructions

Growing Cosmic Purple Carrots is straightforward, and they thrive under the right conditions. Here’s how to ensure they grow into strong, vibrant plants:

1. Soil Preparation
   Carrots prefer well-drained, loose soil. Use light, sandy soil for the best results. If you have heavy clay soil, improve drainage by adding organic matter like compost. The soil should have a pH of 6.0-6.8 for optimal growth.

2. Planting
   Sow Cosmic Purple Carrot Seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them about 1 inch apart. For the best growth, space rows about 12-18 inches apart to ensure proper airflow and root expansion. Carrots can be planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.

3. Watering
   Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Carrots require consistent watering, especially in dry periods, but be careful not to over-water, as this can cause rot. Allow the surface to dry slightly between watering to prevent over-saturation.

4. Light and Temperature
   Carrots need full sun to partially shaded areas to grow well. They thrive in temperatures of 60-70°F (15-21°C). Carrots are quite hardy, but they prefer moderate temperatures for the best flavor.

5. Harvesting
   Cosmic Purple Carrots are ready for harvest in 70-80 days. Harvest when the carrots are about 6-8 inches long, and their vibrant color has developed. Pull them gently from the ground to avoid breaking the tender roots.
