Like many root vegetables, carrot does not transplant well and should be directly sown. Plant 2-3 seeds ¼” deep and 1-2” apart in very loose, well-tilled, and well-drained soil in full sun. Seeds germinate in 14-21 days, thinning back to 1 plant every 2” as true leaves establish. Avoid using nitrogen-rich fertilizers which are known to cause growth abnormalities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed carrot seeds require care no different than other classic carrot types. Make sure that the soil is sandy and loose with few rocks in it, so that the roots can easily grow long. The soil will be best for growth if it has a pH level between 6.0-7.0. Seeds should be sown directly outside in the spring in an area with full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRed Carrot in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarrot is a sugary sweet root vegetable second only to the beet in overall sugar content. Carrot is one of the easiest, quickest, and most satisfying garden crops and lends itself to as many savory dishes as it does sweet. Although considered a predominantly orange vegetable, the carrot is available in a wide selection of exquisite heirloom colors such as red, purple, yellow, and white. Carrots can be sown every couple weeks for successive season-long harvesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts shape is like that of a classic carrot, growing six inches long with a tapered end. However, this variety is a striking deep red-orange. Each carrot is sweet and tender, and can spice up any salad or dish with its unique appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Red Carrots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost varieties of carrot are ready for harvest about 70-80 days from sowing, while smaller varieties such as Parisian are ready a few weeks sooner. Regardless of color, carrots are usually ripe for harvest when the root begins to show above soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sandy and well-tilled garden will help in harvesting, providing a loose soil to safely uproot the carrot crop without the need for tools. For more hardened soils, use a specialized hand cultivator or garden hori-hori knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Red Carrot Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaucus carota subsp. sativus\u003c\/em\u003e (65-80 days) \u003cstrong\u003eAKA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atomic Red Carrot, Red Sky Carrot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed carrot color madness!

Red carrot seeds grow and habit just like orange, but contain additional lycopene, lending to a warm red root structure. Carrot seeds are believed to have first been cultivated in Afghanistan where purple and yellow were the primary varieties; having since domesticated throughout the world, with the red carrot finding a niche in Indian and Japanese cuisine.

Like many root vegetables, carrot does not transplant well and should be directly sown. Plant 2-3 seeds ¼” deep and 1-2” apart in very loose, well-tilled, and well-drained soil in full sun. Seeds germinate in 14-21 days, thinning back to 1 plant every 2” as true leaves establish. Avoid using nitrogen-rich fertilizers which are known to cause growth abnormalities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed carrot seeds require care no different than other classic carrot types. Make sure that the soil is sandy and loose with few rocks in it, so that the roots can easily grow long. The soil will be best for growth if it has a pH level between 6.0-7.0. Seeds should be sown directly outside in the spring in an area with full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRed Carrot in the Vegetable Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarrot is a sugary sweet root vegetable second only to the beet in overall sugar content. Carrot is one of the easiest, quickest, and most satisfying garden crops and lends itself to as many savory dishes as it does sweet. Although considered a predominantly orange vegetable, the carrot is available in a wide selection of exquisite heirloom colors such as red, purple, yellow, and white. Carrots can be sown every couple weeks for successive season-long harvesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts shape is like that of a classic carrot, growing six inches long with a tapered end. However, this variety is a striking deep red-orange. Each carrot is sweet and tender, and can spice up any salad or dish with its unique appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Red Carrots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost varieties of carrot are ready for harvest about 70-80 days from sowing, while smaller varieties such as Parisian are ready a few weeks sooner. Regardless of color, carrots are usually ripe for harvest when the root begins to show above soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sandy and well-tilled garden will help in harvesting, providing a loose soil to safely uproot the carrot crop without the need for tools. For more hardened soils, use a specialized hand cultivator or garden hori-hori knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Red Carrot Garden Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaucus carota subsp. sativus\u003c\/em\u003e (65-80 days) \u003cstrong\u003eAKA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atomic Red Carrot, Red Sky Carrot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed carrot color madness!
