Regular carrot seeds are very tiny. For ease of planting, nothing beats seeds that have a coating that makes each one bigger and easy to handle. Space Bolero Pelleted carrot seeds 2cm (1inch) apart to make thinning a breeze! Sized for precision seeding. Bolero carrot seeds are a great variety for home or market. They are very sweet and crunchy, and a good keeper in storage or in the ground. Roots are bright orange, up to 20cm (8″) long, and slightly tapered, with the typical blunt Nantes tip. High level of resistance to Alternaria blights and powdery mildew. Very tasty! Our Probio seed coating is organic, but the seed is not certified. Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

| Starting |
Because carrot seeds are tiny, they need to be sown shallowly. The trick is to keep the top-most layer of soil damp during the relatively long germination period. Water deeply prior to planting. Direct sow the tiny seeds 5mm (¼”) deep, 4 seeds per 2cm (1″), and firm soil lightly after seeding. Make sure the seeds are only just buried. Water the area with the gentlest stream possible, and keep it constantly moist until the seeds sprout. |
| Growing |
Ideal pH: 6.0-6.8. The softer and more humus-based the soil, the better. When soil is dry enough in spring, work it to a fine texture. Broadcast and dig in ½ cup complete organic fertilizer for every 3m (10′) of row. Avoid fresh manure. Carrots will become misshapen, but still edible if they hit anything hard as they grow down into the soil. Keep weeded and watered. |
