Growing Directions:
These carrots, like most root vegetables, should be planted directly outside in an area with full sun. The soil should have a temperature of fifty-five to seventy-five degrees and a pH level of six to seven. Make sure that it is sandy, moist, and loose, so that the carrots can easily grow long and large. Keep one to two inches between the plants and eighteen to twenty-four inches between rows. Water the roots consistently throughout their growth to keep the soil moist. After seventy or so days, the Rainbow Blend carrots will be ready to be harvested. Pull them up from the soil by their heads.
